School attendance is important! We are using a new program this year called "Attendance Pro". You will receive texts from 304-802-8073 when your child is absent. Responses go directly to Ms. Pam. She is able to reply & enter excuses into our system from your text. Pictures of excuses may also be sent to 304-802-8073, which prevents them from getting lost or not turned in at all. Please feel free to reach out to Ms. Pam with any questions or concerns.

Farm to School Spotlight: Fresh, Local Figs!
A big thank you to Jon and Lisa DuMars of The Garden Path for providing delicious, locally grown Tyler County fresh figs for students at Sistersville Elementary to try through the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program!
Trying new foods is a fun part of learning where our food comes from, and our students got to experience a true taste of local agriculture right here in Tyler County!
And the fig fun isn’t over yet! More locally grown figs will be coming in the future for the kids at AIB Elementary to try.
“I tried a fig and I liked it!”
