📚 September is Attendance Awareness Month!

At Topeka Public Schools, we know Everyday Counts. When students are in school each day, they have more opportunities to learn, grow, connect with their teachers and classmates, and reach their goals.

This month, we’re celebrating the importance of showing up and encouraging our TPS families to make attendance a priority. Because every day in the classroom is another opportunity to Engage, Prepare, Inspire.
