Attendance Awareness Month may be almost over, but showing up still matters every day!
Consistent attendance helps students stay connected to their learning, their teachers, and their classmates. Every school day is another opportunity to learn, grow, and make progress.
Thank you to our families for making attendance a priority throughout the 2026-27 school year! 💫

Being at school is about more than academics alone. It gives students opportunities to build relationships, feel connected, develop confidence, and know they are an important part of their school community. 🤗
Research shows that students who feel connected to school are more likely to have better attendance and positive academic outcomes.
When students are at school, they have more opportunities to learn, connect, and grow. Every day counts!

Reminder: There will be no school for students on Monday, September 21, for a teacher workday. We’ll see you again on Tuesday! 👋
Consistent attendance gives students more opportunities to learn, build relationships, develop routines, and stay connected to their school community. When absences begin to add up, students can miss important learning experiences and time with classmates and teachers.
Chronic absence means missing 10% or more of the school year for any reason, which can be as little as two days each month. Working together, families and schools can help identify barriers, provide support, and keep students connected to learning. 📚
Showing up matters—and every day in school is another opportunity to learn and succeed! 🙌
