STUDENTS
September is ATTENDANCE AWARENESS MONTH
September is ATTENDANCE AWARENESS MONTH, a campaign that highlights the strong connection between school attendance and academic achievement.
Beginning as early as preschool and kindergarten, CHRONIC ABSENCES which include excused, unexcused, suspensions, etc. can leave third graders unable to read proficiently, sixth graders struggling with coursework, and high school students off track for graduation.
Our goal is that every student in our schools attend regularly.
