Today, the Ellenville Central School District community pauses to honor and remember the heroes of September 11. Let's unite to pay tribute, support one another, and embrace a spirit of compassion as we reflect on the courage and resilience of those who faced unspeakable tragedy on this day in 2001.
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

It’s National School Nurses Day, so let’s show our appreciation for those caring individuals in our schools who do so much more than apply band-aids, stop bloody noses, and hand out ice packs!
