With only 3 days of school next week, we want to make every one count! Our goal is to see our Anchors here, on time, and ready to learn all 3 days! ⚓

🚫 Monday: No School - Labor Day
🎩 Tuesday: Hats Off to Great Attendance Spirit Day
🚫 Wednesday: No School - Statewide Primaries
⭐ Thursday and Friday: Let's finish the week strong!

3 days of school = 3 days to shine! Can we make it 3 for 3? 💙

In celebration of Attendance Awareness Month, we’re kicking off a fun spirit day on Tuesday, September 8th!

Students are invited to wear their favorite hat as we celebrate the importance of showing up, being on time, and making every school day count! 💙⚓

We can’t wait to see all of our Anchors’ awesome hats!

A huge THANK YOU to East Providence Firefighters ... Local 850 for their incredibly generous donation of backpacks filled with school supplies! 🎒❤️

Thanks to their kindness, 20 of our students received brand-new backpacks packed with essential supplies to help them start the school year off right.

We are so fortunate to be part of a community where others step up to support our students and their families. Your generosity truly makes a difference, and we are incredibly grateful! ⚓️📚✏️

Thank you, East Providence Firefighters Local 850, for supporting our Whiteknact Anchors!

🎉 What a way to start the year, Whiteknact! 🎉

We had 94% of our students in school on the first day yesterday! We are so excited to start the year strong and hope to keep that percentage HIGH every day!

📬 Be on the lookout for a flyer coming home today introducing our Whiteknact One or None Club!

Each month, students who have:
⭐ 0 or 1 absence
⭐ 0 or 1 tardy
⭐ 0 or 1 early dismissal

Students who meet all criteria will earn a monthly One or None Club badge AND an invitation to that month’s attendance incentive! 🎉

The best part? Eligibility starts fresh each month, so every student gets a brand-new opportunity to join the club.

Our goal is simple: keep celebrating the importance of being here, on time, and here for the full day, while giving our Anchors something fun to work toward along the way!

Here’s to keeping that attendance strong all year long! ⚓💙
