Check out some photos of Team 72 and Team 84 enjoying their reward trip to the Boys & Girls Club last Friday! 🎉 Both teams earned the highest attendance rates during Westfield Middle School’s April Attendance Challenge and enjoyed some well-deserved leisure time as a result. The challenge resets for May, with another reward trip scheduled for the first Friday in June. We’re excited to see which teams come out on top next — every day counts at WMS! Thank you to Ms. Paret for arranging and BGC for partnering with us!

Attendance
Regular school attendance is one of the strongest predictors of student success. When students come to school each day they learn new skills, stay connected with teachers and classmates, and access the supports they need to thrive. Chronic absenteeism can make it hard to catch up — but every day missed is also an opportunity to improve. Let’s work together — families, teachers, and neighbors — to make sure every student can be present, safe, and ready to learn. #EveryDayCounts #AchievingExcellenceTogether
