September is National Attendance Awareness Month
A time to celebrate and emphasize the important role school attendance plays in ensuring our students receive quality education.
Consistent attendance:
1. Boosts academic performance and grade-level proficiency.
2. Fosters social connections and peer relationships.
3. Encourages responsibility and a sense of routine.
4. Reduces the risk of falling behind and feeling overwhelmed.
*Remember: attendance matters and absences add up!
