We can help students understand that school is their very first job by making attendance a priority. Talk to kids about the importance of daily attendance & help them build responsibility skills in the evening and morning so they are up early and ready for school. #projectbehere

Regular attendance is essential to grade-level reading, academic achievement, & graduation. Attendance puts children on track for becoming proficient readers by the end of 3rd grade & decreases their likelihood of being retained. #projectbehere
