Every school day matters! âś…
Regular attendance helps students build strong relationships, stay connected to learning, and develop habits that support success in school and beyond.
Of course, when students are sick, staying home is the right choice. Rest and recovery are important for their health and the wellbeing of others.
But when students are healthy, we want them here! đź’Ż
Thank you, families, for making attendance a priority and helping students show up ready to learn!

Every school day matters! When students arrive at school on time and ready to learn, they have more opportunities to build skills, connect with classmates and teachers, and stay engaged in their learning. ⏰
Even a few missed days or late arrivals can add up over time. Families can make a powerful difference by establishing consistent routines, planning ahead for on-time arrival, and making regular attendance a priority.
Thank you for partnering with us to help every student make the most of every school day!

Christiansburg High School had a reason to celebrate last Friday! 🎉
Students, staff, and community members gathered for a special ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of the school's additions and renovations. ✂️
The project brought several improvements to CHS, including a new gymnasium, updated classrooms, expanded cafeteria space, a new main entrance, and improvements to Career and Technical Education (CTE) labs. These updates provide more space for students and staff while creating modern, flexible learning environments throughout the school.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the celebration special. We are proud to celebrate this moment with our Blue Demons!

Consistent attendance gives students more opportunities to learn, build relationships, develop routines, and stay connected to their school community.
Missing just 10% of the school year (or about 18 days) is considered chronic absenteeism. That can average out to only two missed days each month.
Research also shows that students who are chronically absent in the early grades are less likely to be reading on grade level by 3rd grade. Regular attendance continues to be connected with stronger academic outcomes as students get older.
Families, join us as we make strong attendance a top priority this school year! đź’Ş
