Dear South Holland School District 151 Families,

This year, our district theme is "The Sky's the Limit!"

Students at Taft, Eisenhower, Madison and Coolidge are learning new skills and demonstrating their amazing talents. Our goal is to help children grow in every school, in every classroom, every day. Consistency is the key to student growth. 

This year, we are asking all families to help their children grow by focusing on ATTENDANCE. 

Our goal is for each child to have fewer than ten (10) absences during the 2024-25 school year. That will mean each child has an attendance score of over 90%! 

Missing school can cause children to fall behind. For example, in Kindergarten and 1^st Grade at Taft, children learn best from daily classroom activities, lessons, discussions, and routines. When a child misses school, there is no way to make up for what they have missed. This makes it hard for them to develop beginning Reading, Writing, and Math skills.
