Attendance in elementary school is important because kids are building the foundational knowledge for reading & math which will help them succeed throughout all of their years in school. HS dropouts have higher rates of absence beginning as early as 1st grade. #projectbehere

Paige Elementary is having a Walk & Roll to School Day 🚲 TOMORROW Friday, October 14th!
What does Walk & Roll to School Mean?
Walk: Use your feet to walk to school! 🚶🏽♂️🚶🏾♂️🚶♀️🚶🏿♀️🚶🏿♂️🚶🏼♂️
Roll: Typically includes human-powered things on wheels such as bikes and scooters 🚲 🛴 🚴🏾🚴🏿♀️
Why Walk or Roll to School?
It’s fun! Remember the thrill of riding a bike for the first time or walking or rolling to school? There’s a feeling of joy and independence—a sense of adventure—that doesn’t fade. Of course, there are many other benefits to walking and biking to school too!
Walk & Roll to School Day will also teach students about the health and environmental benefits of walking and biking. Some of these benefits include keeping young people healthy and strong as well as teaching them how to safely navigate streets in their neighborhood. Quality time with parents and friends can boost mood and connection as they travel to and from school! ❤️ Plus, research has shown that morning activity can help students do better in school. 🏫 ✏️
On 10/14, if your child is unable to walk or roll 🚲 🚶🏽♂️to school and they must take the bus 🚌, they will participate on our school grounds when they arrive to Paige! 🐼
Schenectady PD 🚓 will have patrol driving through the Walk and Roll route to ensure safety!
There are parent volunteers that will be present at the two route locations to assist with the walking/biking routes!

Students who are chronically absent are missing critical instruction time & are at the greatest risk of falling behind & dropping out of school. What does it mean to be chronically absent? Missing 18 days of school in a school year is considered chronic absence. #projectbehere
