Did you know? Absenteeism in the first month of school can predict poor attendance throughout the school year. Half the students who miss 2-4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school. Getting into the habit of daily attendance is more important than ever. It helps to: Reduce stress, make it easier to connect with friends and teachers, and support learning . Please contact your child's school if you need help with attendance. We will do our best to listen and partner with you so that our children have a successful year. #BeHereAchieveMore #AttendanceMatters
The new school year will bring with it new expectations regarding smartphones at Ellenville Jr/Sr High School. Smartphones have become a huge distraction in schools, making it harder and harder for students to focus on their work and get the most out of their school day. Studies also show a strong link between excessive smartphone use and depression, anxiety, bullying, social conflict and stress among adolescents and young adults. We know the new protocols will take some getting used to, but limiting smartphone use will help make Ellenville an even better place to learn. Visit our website at https://www.ecs.k12.ny.us/o/ehs/page/electronic-device-expectations to learn more. Thank you for your partnership!
