Dear Parents and Guardians,

If your child has not attended school, please make sure to contact the Pontiac Middle school.  There is space for 7th and 8th grade students, and we are very proud of our school and community.  Regular attendance is vital to student’s success in school. The student, who is frequently absent, misses social interaction and direct instruction from his or her teachers even though written work can be made up. Any day or hour absent is a missed learning opportunity. Attendance is a key predictor of academic achievement.

Any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact our school counselor, Mr. Davis, at 248.451.8020.  We will have a successful school year!

Estimado Padres y Guardianes,

Si su hijo no ha asistido a la escuela, por favor asegúrese de comunicarse con la Pontiac Middle School.Hay espacio para estudiantes de séptimo y octavo grado, y estamos muy orgullosos de nuestra escuela y comunidad. La asistencia regular es vital para el éxito de los estudiantes en la escuela. El estudiante, que frecuentemente está ausente, pierde la interacción social y la instrucción directa de sus maestros, aunque el trabajo escrito se puede hacer. Cualquier día o hora ausente es una oportunidad de aprendizaje perdida. La asistencia es un predictor clave del logro académico.

Cualquier pregunta o inquietud, no dude en ponerse en contacto con nuestro consejero escolar, el Sr. Davis, en 248.451.8020. ¡Vamos a tener un año escolar exitoso!
