🟩 Good Morning Sumter PREP Families, 💚
We are excited to share a few important updates as we move into a busy and productive month at Sumter PREP Academy. Your partnership and support continue to make a tremendous difference for our students.
🟩 Badges and Bicycles Initiative 💚
SPA has partnered with the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office to celebrate students who maintain 90% attendance over a 4.5‑week period. Students who meet this goal have the chance to earn brand‑new bicycles or gift cards to popular retailers and restaurants. Congratulations to J. Russell and L. Robinson, our most recent winners!
💚 Please encourage your student to attend school every day so they don’t miss out on these opportunities!
🟩 SAC Meeting – March 3rd at 2:30 PM 💚
Join us for our third School Advisory Council meeting as we discuss student achievement, parent engagement, and our mid‑year School Improvement Plan review. Your input is incredibly valuable.
🟩 Career Express Program 💚
Juniors and seniors continue exploring career pathways with visits to SunCoast, Cemex, and Sumter County Government. Students participating in this program receive stipends while gaining real‑world career experience.
🟩 Attendance Update 💚
Our February attendance rate has dropped, and we’re asking for your help. Daily attendance is vital for student success, and our Badges and Bicycles program is one way we are encouraging consistency.
