ATTENDANCE MATTERS- EVERYDAY & ON TIME
Being present and on time sets students up for success! Daily attendance helps students stay on track academically, build strong routines, and feel connected to their school community.
To encourage good habits, we’re launching a grade-level cohort competition! The cohort on each grade level with the lowest percentage of absences and tardies for the month of September will win a special reward.
Let’s work together to help students show up every day, on time, and ready to learn. Every minute counts!
