September is attendance awareness month!
As we "Show Up Together", parents you can help make school attendance a priority by:
Talking about the importance of showing up to school every day.
Help your teen maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night's sleep.
If your teen must stay at home due to illness, make sure that your student has asked his/her teachers for resources and materials to make up for missed time in the classroom.
