September is Attendance Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time to highlight how important it is that every student is present and accounted for each day. Consistent attendance builds the foundation for student success, not only academically but also socially and emotionally.
Thank you for all you do each day to ensure our students are seen, supported, and cared for. By making attendance a priority, we help our students stay on track, feel connected, and know that they matter.
Let’s continue to work together to encourage strong attendance habits and celebrate the positive impact it has on our school community. Every student, every day, counts!

Thank you!
