Looking ahead, here are some important dates for the next school year.
This will be our last Community Connection until next school year. We hope everyone enjoys their summer break. Leave us feedback on what you would like to see on next year's Community Connection. Thank you for all of your love and support this year!
We are incredibly proud to share the steady decrease in our chronic absenteeism rate at North Adams Elementary over the past four school years.
In 2022-2023, our chronic absenteeism rate was 22%.
For the 2025-2026 school year, that number has dropped to 9.6%.
This progress does not happen by accident. It happens because families make school attendance a priority, even on the mornings when it is not easy. We want to sincerely thank our parents and guardians for your dedication, consistency, and commitment to making sure your child is at school and ready to learn each day. Your partnership matters, and this data is a direct reflection of that support.
We also want to thank our amazing North Adams Elementary staff for the work they do each and every day to create a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment that students want to be a part of. From the classroom to the cafeteria, from the playground to the bus line, our staff members play a role in helping students feel connected, supported, and excited to come to school.
At North Adams Elementary, attendance is more than a number. It represents opportunity, growth, relationships, and success.
Thank you, families and staff, for helping make school a priority!
