We can help students understand that school is their very first job by making attendance a priority. Talk to kids about the importance of daily attendance & help them build responsibility skills in the evening and morning so they are up early and ready for school. #projectbehere

Attendance in elementary school is important because kids are building the foundational knowledge for reading & math which will help them succeed throughout all of their years in school. HS dropouts have higher rates of absence beginning as early as 1st grade. #projectbehere
