You've seen the flyers. You've received the postcards. You might even be rocking one of our T-shirts from a recent event. Now — officially one week out from the first day of school — it's time to put it all into ACTION!

Here's what we know:

📌 Missing just 2 days a month adds up to 1.5 years of lost learning by graduation!

📌 2 days a week = 5 YEARS lost — that's nearly half of their entire school career!

📌 2 days a week = 5 YEARS lost — that's nearly half of their entire school career!

According to the National Center for Education Statistics:

✅ Students who miss 10% or more of the school year (just 2 days a month) are far less likely to read at grade level by 3rd grade, and less likely to graduate high school.

✅ Chronic absenteeism in early grades triples the risk of poor academic outcomes in middle and high school.

✅ Attendance is the #1 predictor of student success — more than test scores or income level.

Kids who attend school regularly achieve academic goals, build confidence, develop strong social skills, learn responsibility and stay on track for graduation and beyond!

Every minute counts. Every day matters. Let's raise a generation of learners who show up, strive and succeed. 

Parents — your commitment sets the tone. If your child sees that school is a non-negotiable priority, they'll treat it that way too. We get it — life happens. But when we make attendance a family value, we change everything.

🎁 And this year, we're sweetening the deal: Students with improved attendance will be entered into exclusive prize giveaways and winners will be announced on social media!

Let's make this year the best yet. Let's show up. Let's #MoveForwardTogether. Join us. Commit to daily attendance. Because #AttendanceMatters — and our kids deserve nothing less!
