Mark Twain's color weeks start tomorrow with Red, White, and Blue. We encourage students and staff to wear the color(s) of the day to school. During school, students will be spending part of their day with activities that revolve around the color(s) of the day while learning to read and write the color word(s) of the day. #marktwain #twaincusd1 #colorweek
All this month, we are collecting full-size bottles of body wash for One Stop Community Christmas! Send them in with your student or drop them off to the office. #marktwain #twaincusd1
87 Mark Twain students earned their apples today for their caramel apple reward. 14 additional students would have earned theirs but were tardy one or more days this week. Keep working towards those apples and/or caramel next week as our attendance incentive continues! #marktwain #twaincusd1 #attendancematters
Next Wednesday (11/11), Mark Twain will kick off our Color Week(s). Each day we will focus on one color, learning how to read and write the color word(s) of the day. We encourage students and staff to wear the color of the day each day. #marktwain #twaincusd1
Today is day 1 of Mark Twain's attendance incentive. We have done so well in September and October, we want to set the bar even higher. Starting with the month of November, tardies will be counted within perfect attendance. Students must arrive to school on time and stay all day to be counted as present for the day (The ONLY exception - if a child is at school, leaves for an appointment and returns to school after the appointment). For November, students are working toward building their own caramel apple! The more they are here, the more toppings they earn. YUM! Also, if we have a 94% attendance rate or higher, the entire school will earn a prize. #marktwain #twaincusd1 #attendancematters
Happy Halloween from your Mark Twain book characters!

Mark Twain's October attendance incentive wrapped up today with pumpkin painting and decorating. Students with perfect attendance for the entire month also received their popcorn coupons to use at VIP Cinemas. We had more students earn perfect attendance this month than last and our overall rate was 93%, which we are proud of! November's attendance incentive begins Monday! #marktwain #twaincusd1 #attendancematters
It is pumpkin week at Mark Twain!! It is our last week for our October attendance incentive. I am so proud of the effort our kids and families have put into reaching our attendance goals. Students will bring home their pumpkins Friday :) #marktwain #twaincusd1 #attendancecounts
The Mark Twain fall parade is Friday October 30 at 1:15. Students are allowed to wear their costumes to school. If you are planning on attending the parade to watch, please be mindful the parade will start promptly at 1:15pm and will be over by 1:30pm. Parents will stand behind the caution tape along the car drop off lane. Parking at Mark Twain is limited, so we encourage parents to park at the football field parking lot or middle school parking lot and walk over. Parents - please check your email for additional information regarding the parade. We look forward to seeing you all Friday at 1:15pm.
We are excited about our Mark Twain costume parade one week from today!

Week 2 of Mark Twain's October Attendance incentive and we are unstoppable. When you set the bar high the first week, one may wonder if you can beat it week 2. Well, beat it we did! 148 students achieved perfect attendance in week 2! We only have 10 students that haven't earned their pumpkin....yet. We believe we can get 100% of students with at least one week of perfect attendance in the month. #marktwain #twaincusd1 #attendancecounts

Mark Twain students loved hanging out with Billy the Panther this morning.

Mark Twain had 81 students earn the perfect attendance award for September and ended the month with an overall attendance rate of 94%. Our top 5 classrooms for perfect attendance rates were: Mr. Reynolds, Mrs. Ready, Ms. Gentry (AM), Mrs. Wolff, and Mrs. Oakley. Thank you, families, for helping with consistent attendance! Next month, on top of the individual October attendance incentive - the entire school will earn a prize if we can beat this month's 94% overall attendance rate. #attendancematters #marktwain #twaincusd1
Mark Twain's September perfect attendance incentive wrapped up today, and our October one will start tomorrow. For October, we are going to do a progressive reward with the opportunity for students to earn a reward each week, culminating with decorating a pumpkin at the end of the month and earning a coupon for a free popcorn at VIP cinemas. Be on the lookout for our September results to be released tomorrow! Thank you, VIP cinemas and ROE 11, for partnering with us for the month of October. #marktwain #twaincusd1 #attendancematters
