Show Up: Building Success Through Daily Attendance
The "Show Up" campaign highlights the power of daily attendance, encouraging families, schools, and communities to work together in supporting students' academic and social growth. Every day a student attends school strengthens their path to success, helping build habits that lead to a bright future.
The "Show Up" campaign sends a simple but impactful message: attendance matters. Showing up to school every day is crucial for academic and social success. Research shows that students with consistent attendance perform better, form stronger relationships, and are more likely to graduate.
Even a small number, like missing two days of school a month or 18 days a year, can lead to chronic absenteeism, a serious issue that puts students at risk of falling behind. This isn't just about grades—it's about building the habits needed for life beyond school, whether in college or the workforce. When students show up, they engage in learning, connect with peers and teachers, and benefit from the support they need to thrive.
The 'Show Up' campaign is a rallying cry for families and the community. It's a collective effort, not just the responsibility of parents or teachers. Parents are pivotal in reinforcing the value of attendance, ensuring students are prepared for school, and providing reliable transportation. But it doesn't stop there. Community organizations and local leaders are also stepping up and creating a robust support system for our students. This is a shared responsibility; we can make a significant difference together.
'Show Up' is more than a slogan—it's a shared commitment to student success. By prioritizing attendance, we're all part of a collective effort, one day at a time, paving the way for brighter futures and higher achievement. Every day a student shows up is a step closer to success. So, let's all 'Show Up' and build success through daily attendance. This is our mission, our commitment, and our shared responsibility.
