September is Attendance Awareness Month!
Every school day matters. When students attend school regularly, they have more opportunities to learn, build relationships, participate in their school communities, and stay on track toward academic success.
Under the leadership of California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond, the CDE is working alongside school districts to promote meaningful student and parent engagement, strengthen attendance strategies, and help every student attend consistently.
Let’s work together to make every school day count. When students show up, they have more opportunities to thrive! 🏫
