Why does Attendance Matter? Because everyday counts—and so does your child!

When your student is in school consistently, they’re not just keeping up with lessons—they’re building strong habits, friendships, and the confidence to succeed. Missing even a few days here and there can make it harder to catch up and stay engaged. Regular attendance helps your child stay connected, supported, and ready to reach their full potential. Let’s team up to help them thrive—one day at a time! 🏫🎒📝
