September is Attendance Awareness Month!

Every school day is an opportunity to learn, grow and connect. When students attend school regularly, they are more likely to stay on track and reach their goals.

This month, we’re highlighting the importance of showing up, staying engaged and making every school day count.

Let’s make attendance a priority. Every day matters. Every student matters.
