    Garfield Re-2 School District sees significant improvement in student attendance

    Every day in school is critical. 

    As a four-day school week, if a Garfield Re-2 student misses just two days a month, that is about 30 hours of math instruction and 60 hours of English Language Arts instruction that they are missing. 

    “We know that the best indicator of student success is having a great teacher in front of students. We want all of our students in class if they are healthy,” said Assistant Superintendent Lisa Pierce, who facilitated the concerted effort by the District to support improved attendance.

    Hudson Parrington wanted to start school on Monday, August 12, like all of the other students in Garfield Re-2.

    “I am excited to see my friends again and be with them,” said the newly minted Wamsley Wildcat 5th grader.

    When classes at the other nine schools within Garfield Re-2 began on Monday this week, Hudson and his 400 other classmates got an extended summer break while construction crews put the finishing touches on a multi-million dollar summer facelift for the school.
