Being present matters for all students. Help us bridge this gap and make sure your child attends school and arrives on time. π
Every student deserves a trusted adult in their corner π
The first few weeks of school are an important time for students to establish routines and build connections. At , we know that Being Present Matters from the very beginning.
Last year, more than 1 in 4 students were chronically absent. Even a few missed days early in the year can have a lasting impact. Half of students who miss 2 to 4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school.
When students receive the support they need to stay engaged and succeed, everyone benefits. We see stronger academic achievement, more graduates, a more robust workforce, a more prosperous economy and thriving communities.
Letβs make being present a priority for every student.
