Attendance and achievement are directly linked. Students learn foundation skills, like math and
reading, in the early years. Children who miss school in the elementary years are more likely to
struggle academically and, in later years, to dropout entirely. #attendanceawarness #attendancematters #everydaycounts #schooleveryday #IHeartA2A
Did you know that children can suffer academically if they miss 10 percent of the school year? That’s just 18 days or 2 to 3 days a month. And that can add up before you know it. This September our district is celebrating Attendance Awareness Month with a renewed push to get all kids to school—on time, every day. Research shows us that absences add up. We know there will be days when your child will miss school, especially when they’re sick. But we also know that nationwide, as many as 7.5 million students miss 10 percent of the school year. This drastically contributes to students falling behind academically because they have missed too many days.
So this September, for Attendance Awareness Month, let’s work together as a community – to get all kids to school – on time, every day. Thank you for your support as our kids belong in school!!

Teachers change the lives of millions of children every day, and their work and impact extends far beyond the boundaries of the classroom.
They play a pivotal role in our children’s lives, inspiring a lifelong love of learning and discovery and making a difference in their well-being and long-term success.
