Every day counts! When students attend school regularly, they build strong academic foundations and positive habits that last a lifetime. 💪
Students who attend school consistently are more likely to:
✅Succeed in reading and math
✅Stay on track to graduate
✅Develop good routines and responsibility
Missing just 2 days a month adds up to 18+ days a year. That’s a month of learning lost! 😱
Let’s work together to make sure every student shows up, on time, every day. 🌟
