📊 Attendance Matters | Week of February 9–13
This week, our district achieved a 95% average attendance rate, meeting our district goal and reflecting a strong, consistent commitment to learning.
We are proud of the effort shown across our campuses as students stay engaged and focused during this busy time of year. Every day in class builds momentum for academic growth and strengthens connections within our schools.
As we head into a well-deserved Winter Break, we encourage everyone to rest, recharge, and return ready to finish strong. Thank you for helping us keep attendance a priority—because every day matters, and every student counts.
