#BePresent this September: Attendance Awareness Month
This September, the South-Western City Schools District (SWCSD) reminds students and families of the importance of #BePresent with Attendance Awareness Month. Attendance Awareness Month is a nationwide recognition of the connection between regular school attendance and academic achievement. Research shows that when students are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of the school year or 18 days over an entire year), they are less likely to read proficiently by third grade, achieve in middle school, and graduate from high school. Missing just two days a month places a student at risk of becoming chronically absent.
This month highlights the importance of mobilizing schools, families and community partners to promote regular attendance by developing tiered strategies and personalized interventions to reduce chronic absence. Every September serves as a reminder for all stakeholders to partner together to identify and remove barriers to daily school attendance so each student can thrive in the classroom.
