Fayette County Attendance

Fayette County Schools will once again host several attendance incentives. Similar to last year, there will be specific guidelines to be eligible for the incentives at each school.

We realize that unforeseen illness and events may arise, however we also know that regular school attendance creates the best opportunity for educational, social, and emotional growth.

Our attendance kickoff will begin the first day of school! To be eligible to participate in the school incentive, students may not have more than 1 unexcused absence. Each school will decide what type of incentive they will sponsor. The incentive date is: Friday September 5, 2025.
