🍎 Attendance Matters — Even in Pre-K! 🍎

Did you know that regular attendance is important long before kindergarten?

Every day in Pre-K is filled with opportunities for children to learn, grow, and build important skills. When children attend school regularly, they are:

📚 Building early literacy and math skills
🗣️ Growing their language and communication skills
🤝 Learning how to work, play, and problem-solve with others
⭐ Building confidence and independence
⏰ Developing routines and attendance habits that will follow them into elementary school and beyond

In early childhood, so much learning happens through conversations, play, hands-on activities, songs, stories, and interactions with teachers and friends. Every day really does matter!

This September, the Acadia Early Childhood Network is celebrating Attendance Awareness Month by reminding our families that strong attendance habits start early. 💛

📣APSB Celebrates Attendance Awareness Month 📣

Every school day counts for success in the classroom!

As we highlight attendance awareness, the Acadia Parish School Board reminds families that regular attendance is essential for every student's academic progress. Showing up on time every single day helps children stay on track, build strong learning habits, and connect with their teachers and peers.

Parents and guardians can easily track daily attendance and stay up to date using the Student Progress Center portal. Let's work together to support our students and make this school year a great success!
