Can you believe it, as of today, we've already completed 30 days of school this year? Time flies — and so does learning when students are in their seats every day!

We are so proud of these students and teachers! Attendance is a TEAM EFFORT. That is why in case of a tie, we looked at class size and the larger class was selected. Everyone has to be on board to reach the top!

👏 Did you know? Nearly 3,100 students in Cicero District 99 have had perfect attendance so far — that's amazing! If that's you, keep going and stay perfect. If it's not, don't worry — our goal is simple: 9 DAYS OR LESS IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS. 

Here's what you can do to reach that goal:
✅ Make school the top priority every day
✅ Schedule doctor's appointments after school or on weekends if possible
✅ Carpool with trusted neighbors or friends
✅ Walk with a buddy or group

We're excited to see which classrooms will shine in the next 30-day challenge. Will we see the same names — or some new ones? The choice starts at home, and together we can do this! Every day counts. Every student matters. Every classroom can be a winner!
