Why does attendance matter so much in District 99? 
‼️Missing just 2 days a month adds up to 18 days a year... that's almost a full month of school! 
‼️Students who attend regularly are far more likely to graduate on time and succeed in future careers. 
‼️Attendance affects grades and impacts confidence, friendships, and opportunities. 
‼️Even in early grades, consistent attendance can predict long-term academic success years later. 

Since day one, our message has been clear: 9 days or less is the key to success!

🎯 And we are PROUD to say that THOUSANDS of our students are currently on track to meet that goal! That's dedication. That's discipline. That's igniting the road to excellence! 

Now it's time for the FINAL CHALLENGE...

💯 Can EVERY student go 25 for 25? Can we finish the year with perfect attendance from now until the last day of school on Thursday, May 21? 

No missed days. No missed opportunities. Just a strong, powerful finish together. Let's show what Cicero District 99 is made of. Let's make these last 25 days the BEST 
25 days. 

25 days. One goal. Let's do this! 🔥
