ππ¨ School Attendance Matters! π¨π
Did you know? π€
Regular attendance not only helps students stay on track with their learning, but it also...
- Develops strong habits for future success π
- Helps build friendships and social skills π€
- Ensures your child doesnβt miss out on critical learning π
Every school day counts, and every absence, excused or unexcused, can impact a student's ability to learn and grow. Your involvement makes a big difference! Letβs work together to support our students and make every school day a success.
