Attendance Matters Attendance Matters

Jackson believes that everyday is an opportunity for our students to grow — not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. Attendance is more than being present in a seat. It’s about being present for learning, friendships, confidence-building, and meaningful experiences that shape the whole child.


Campus Goal: 95%


When students attend school consistently:

📚 Academic Growth Strengthens
Each lesson builds on the one before it. Daily attendance helps students stay on track, deepen their understanding, and feel successful in their learning.


💛 Social-Emotional Skills Develop
School is where students practice teamwork, empathy, communication, and problem-solving. Being present allows them to build friendships, develop resilience, and feel connected to a caring community.


🌟 Confidence Increases
When students attend regularly, they feel prepared, included, and confident. They experience routines, celebrations, and small wins that build self-esteem.


We understand that illnesses and unexpected events happen. When they do, please communicate with us so we can support your child. Our goal is partnership — working together to ensure your child feels safe, supported, and excited to come to school each day.


Strong attendance helps us align academic success with social-emotional growth. When students are here, they thrive.
