Families, we’re asking all of us to pay close attention to the time students are absent this school year. Even missing just a couple days per month can add up to 10% of the entire year. That’s a lot of time missing out on key learning opportunities.
Let’s combat chronic absenteeism together. If you need assistance, contact your child’s school office at any time. #AttendanceMatters

Every day of school counts. Missing just two days a month adds up to 10% of the entire school year!
We all play a part in ensuring our students are in school each day. Parents and caregivers, please make sure that if your student is healthy, they’re in school—on time and ready to learn.
A little encouragement goes a long way! 🚌🎒

Consistent attendance at school truly matters! The more often a student is absent, the more likely they are to fall behind their peers and miss out on critical learning experiences.
Join us in making attendance a top priority this school year! 💯
