Every Day Matters
At Gaagagekiizhik Elementary School and Bimose Community High School in Kenora, every school day is an opportunity to learn, grow, build friendships, and connect with culture. Regular attendance helps students stay engaged in classroom learning, participate in Anishinaabemowin and cultural teachings, enjoy healthy meals, and become part of our school community.
We understand that illness, appointments, and family circumstances happen. When challenges arise, we’re here to work alongside families to help students stay connected to their education.
Showing up each day is something to be proud of!
Throughout the school year, students have opportunities to earn attendance recognition through:
Students with strong attendance are recognized throughout the school year.
Fun rewards celebrate students' commitment to showing up.
We also recognize progress—not just perfect attendance. Every step forward matters.
If attendance becomes a challenge, our team works with families to find solutions together.
Our goal is to encourage positive habits while celebrating every student’s effort and progress.
