Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow

Let's Do This

September is Attendance Awareness Month!

• Talk with a young person about their school routine.
• Ask what helps them get out the door in the morning and what makes it harder.
• Celebrate the days they show up.
• Brainstorm small steps together to keep them engaged in learning. 

Stay Inspired
