Every day in school is a chance to learn, grow, and build bright futures together! September is Attendance Awareness Month, and we want to remind our school family that Your Presence Matters! 🏫✨

When students are present, on time, and ready to learn, they set the foundation for lifelong success. Missing just 2 days a month (10% of the school year) can knock a student off track—which is why every single day counts!

Why Good Attendance Matters:

Elementary Students: Helps build essential reading skills so students read well by 3rd grade.

Middle & High Schoolers: Keeps students passing key courses and staying on track for graduation.

Beyond School: Builds the habits needed to succeed in college and future careers.

Let's make showing up fun! Join us at Curtis Elementary as we celebrate with our September Dress-Up Days:

Thank you to our parents, families, and community for partnering with us to keep our kids present, engaged, and learning. Let's make this September our best month yet! 🐅🎉
