Being in school adds up! Missing just two days each month can put a student at risk of falling behind academically. Every day in the classroom is another opportunity to learn, grow, and connect.

Be here. Keep learning. Keep moving forward.

Look for a flier (or two!) coming home today (Tues. Sept. 8 ) in your child's backpack with some helpful guidance on determining when is sick too sick for school. Our Pre-K and Kindergarten friends will also bring home a flier about building the habit of good attendance from the start of their school careers.

Try this conversation starter tonight: “What’s the best part of your school day?”

Maybe it’s a favorite class, seeing friends, playing a sport or spending time with a teacher who makes a difference. Helping students recognize what they enjoy about school can strengthen their connection to being there.

September is Attendance Awareness Month. This month on our communication channels, we'll be sharing information on how vital attendance is to our Patriots' success. When students miss school, they miss valuable learning, relationships, and opportunities that help prepare them for the future.

Strong attendance habits start early. Students who are chronically absent in kindergarten are more likely to experience challenges with reading by third grade.
Building the habit of showing up today can make a difference for years to come.

Two children stand smiling, one holding a sign that reads "2 Days." Another sign says "BE HERE ALL DAY EVERY DAY."

Remember….Change starts with YOU! And…Jackson did just that with demonstrating superb manners!
