🎃DON’T GHOST SCHOOL THIS OCTOBER! 👻

October is a great time for spooky fun, but missing school is one thing that should never become a scary habit!

A few missed days can seem harmless, but when absences start adding up, they can lead to:

👻 Missing important instruction
👻 Falling behind on assignments
👻 Feeling disconnected from classmates and teachers
👻 More stress about catching up
👻 Difficulty staying on track academically

Sometimes, the hardest part becomes coming back after you've been gone.

As we approach the upcoming 3-day weekend with schools closed on Monday, October 12, we encourage families to make attendance a priority before and after the break. Every school day provides valuable opportunities for learning, growth, and connection.

The good news? You don't have to face attendance challenges alone.

If attendance is becoming a concern, reach out before it becomes a bigger issue. Your school's support team is here to help and problem-solve with you, not judge.

Contact your school's assigned School Social Worker or School Counselor for assistance and resources. Together, we can help identify barriers, create solutions, and ensure your student stays connected to learning.

Every Day Counts. Every Student Matters. 🎃👻
