Daily Attendance Awareness Fact: Consistent and punctual school attendance early in the school year sets the tone for the rest of the year! A study from the Baltimore Education Research Consortium found that missing just 2-4 days in the first month of school made it five times more likely for a student to be chronically absent (missing 10% or more of the entire school year). Make a plan to ensure your child is in school every day, and contact their school if you ever have concerns or need support. At CCSD, our students grow and thrive every day, and it starts with them being present!

Connecting with Nature and History: Hilsman Middle School eighth-graders had an interactive and educational field trip earlier this week, as they hiked from Helen to Sautee Nacoochee to walk along the Unicoi Highway on the historic Trail of Tears of the Cherokee Indians, which they will learn about this year in the Georgia Studies curriculum. They then ended their trip at the new Sautee Nacoochee history museum. Thank you to the team at the Hardman Farm State Historic Site and the Sautee Nacoochee Center for hosting our students and teachers!

Daily Attendance Awareness Fact: Literacy and reading are the light that guides every student's educational journey, but being able to read ties directly into being present at school. Studies and our own data at CCSD have consistently shown that more students who maintain regular school attendance in the early grades are reading on grade level by third grade, a key benchmark where we shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." Join us in spreading the word about the importance of good school attendance, which in turn strengthens our Culture of Literacy in CCSD!

An exciting development in our partnership with Athens Neighborhood Health Center! Today, ANHC's mobile dental bus made its first CCSD stop at Judia Jackson Harris Elementary School and will be there twice a week throughout September. Additional schools will be announced at a later date. Services include cleanings, X-rays, fillings, sealants, and other preventative care.

Thank you to ANHC for being an invaluable partner in helping meet our students' dental care needs and serving our families. They saw three patients for appointments today and have seven more scheduled later this week with more to follow! ANHC also offers dental care at the Hilsman Health Center, which is one of four school-based health centers across CCSD that are open to all district students and staff!
