School is so much more than grades. 🐯🧡

Every day gives our Tigers opportunities to connect with friends, learn from teachers, enjoy meals, build new skills, participate in activities, and have caring adults in their corner.

Missing just two days a month can add up to almost a month of school by the end of the year. That’s a lot of learning, memories, and connections missed.

If something is making attendance difficult, reach out. We’re here to help. Every day counts. Every Tiger counts.

🐯🧡 Quick math, Tiger families.

Missing just two days a month adds up to 18 days by June—almost a full month of school.

Excused or unexcused, every missed day adds up. Students who miss 10% of the school year are considered chronically absent, which can make it harder to keep up in class.

If something is getting in the way of regular attendance, please contact your child’s school to let us know. Our team is here to help!

Every day counts. Every Tiger counts. 🐅
