📣 Moye Families — Every Day Counts! 💙🐾

Every day—and every minute—at school matters! Our campus attendance goal is 95%, and we need your partnership to help our students be at school, on time, and here for the full school day.


⚠️ Did you know about the 90% Rule?

Texas law requires students to attend at least 90% of the days a class is offered in order to receive credit or a final grade for that class. This requirement can apply even when absences are excused.

That means frequent absences, late arrivals, and leaving school early can add up to valuable instructional time missed.


❤️ Right Here. Right Now.

Showing up means more than being marked present. It means being right here, right now for the learning, friendships, celebrations, and experiences that make the school years successful and unforgettable.


🎉 And we want to celebrate great attendance! Throughout the school year, we will continue to have monthly attendance incentives that our students can participate in. Each month will bring another opportunity for students to be recognized and enjoy something special for making attendance a priority!


Help us build strong attendance habits:

⏰ On time.
🏫 Every day.
🕒 All day.


Together, let’s reach 95% attendance, celebrate our students, and make every day count! 💪📅🐾
