Schools are more than places to learn. They're places where students build friendships, discover their strengths, and find a sense of belonging. Creating welcoming environments helps students feel excited to show up, connect, and succeed.

Every day matters.

September is Attendance Awareness Month, and Georgia continues to make progress. During the 2025–2026 school year, the state's chronic absenteeism rate dropped from 19.5% to 17.7%—its lowest post-pandemic level and the fifth consecutive year of improvement.

This progress reflects the hard work of Georgia's students, families, educators, schools, and communities. Let's keep the momentum going because when students are in school, they are more connected, engaged, and prepared for success.
