Dear Diamond Lake School Families,
Thank you to all the families who joined us for our first-ever Math School Event: Pick a Project Day. It was a fun and engaging experience, and our students truly loved having parents and family members join them to explore their math learning. We are grateful for such a warm and supportive community that values opportunities to come together and celebrate student learning. Events like this make our school community special, and we appreciate your partnership in supporting our students.
Next week we are looking forward to a full week of learning, and we are hoping to beat our attendance records for the year. Every day in school matters, and we are excited to see our students continue to grow and learn together. Thank you for helping us make strong attendance a priority!
📈 Attendance Celebration UPDATE for the week!
Our attendance goal is 95% of students in attendance each day. We beat our goal twice this week!
Monday- 94.3%
Tuesday- 95.1%
Wednesday- 95.8%
Thursday-90.6%
Friday- 91.0%
Every day at DLS matters!
Keep shining and #SparkleOn,
Mrs. Sunny Morley
Principal, Diamond Lake School
