Show Up Campaign

The goal is simply to raise awareness about the importance of school attendance and to reduce chronic absenteeism in both districts. We want to celebrate students who consistently come to school ready to learn!

What is Chronic Absenteeism?

It's defined as a student missing 10% or more of school days for any reason, including excused and unexcused absences. The focus isn't on perfect attendance, but on increasing the number of days students show up to school.

The Celebration

We're focused on the positive and collaborative effort to improve student attendance.

How are we doing now?

We're making annual progress to reduce chronic absenteeism. We simply need to continue doing what we're doing to win the Show Up Challenge!

Will You Show Up?

Parents, students, local businesses, and the entire school district are asked to do all they can to help our students Show Up to school more often.  We simply ask you to support our kids in this effort.
