Nashwauk-Keewatin

As we kick off Attendance Matters! week on September 14th, we want to highlight the vital role that consistent daily attendance plays in our students' learning, connection, and success.
Attending school every day isn't just about showing up—it's about building relationships, discovering new talents, and staying on track for a bright future. Every lesson, activity, and shared moment creates a stepping stone toward our students' goals.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we begin the busy season of athletic events, we want to remind all families of the following important expectations to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone:

🔹 Adult Supervision Required:
All students in Kindergarten through Grade 6 MUST be accompanied by an adult to attend any athletic event, including volleyball, football, basketball, etc.

🔹 Stay in Designated Areas:
When events are held at the new school, students must remain in the gym area for the duration of the event. They are not permitted to wander the building, visit lockers, or access other areas of the school.

🔹 Community Gym (small gym) is Off-Limits:
During JV and Varsity games, students should not enter the community gym at any time.

🔹 No Re-Entry Policy:
Once students enter the event, they are expected to stay. If a student chooses to leave the venue, they will not be allowed to re-enter. This included students wanting to accessing the playground. The expectation is for students in attendance to stay in the gym area and watch the game.

We appreciate your help in reinforcing these guidelines with your child to support a safe and respectful environment for our student-athletes, staff, and community members.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support!
