Attendance Awareness Month — September 2013

Every school day counts, and everyone can make a difference: educators, afterschool programs, mayors, businesses and parents. That’s why we are joining Attendance Works and other partners to launch Attendance Awareness Month this September in communities across the United States. Join in and rally our community around the importance of attendance and raising achievement by monitoring and reducing chronic absence.  _______________________________________________________________
