Dear Cheyenne-Eagle Butte Families and Community Members,
We are off to a great start to the school year, and much of that success is because of the support we receive from our parents, guardians, grandparents, and extended families. Thank you for making education a priority and helping our students begin the year ready to learn each day. Research consistently shows that attendance matters. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to read at grade level, achieve academic success, graduate from high school, and have greater opportunities after graduation. Even missing just two days of school each month can have a significant impact on a student's learning over the course of a year.
As we look forward to the Fair and all of the activities that bring our community together, we encourage families to remember the importance of keeping students in school. Our school calendar includes several days and weekends throughout the Fair period so that students and families can enjoy these important cultural and community events while still maintaining strong attendance. We appreciate all you do to support our children and our schools. Together, we can build on the strong start we have made, help every student succeed, and ensure that every day counts. Thank you for your continued partnership and remember: Attendance Matters! Thank you!
Sincerely,
Kevin Mutchelknaus
Superintendent
Cheyenne-Eagle Butte School District 20-1
