📚 **EVERY DAY MATTERS AT ARLINGTON!** 🏫

🎯 **OUR GOAL: 90% OR BETTER ATTENDANCE FOR EVERY STUDENT!**

📅 **Did you know?**
Missing just 2 days of school each month can add up to chronic absenteeism.

📊 **What is chronic absenteeism?**
Students who miss 10% or more of the school year (approximately 18 days) are considered chronically absent.

✅ **OUR ATTENDANCE CHALLENGE**
Help your child miss fewer than 2 days per month on average throughout the school year!

🌟 **WHY ATTENDANCE MATTERS**
📖 Stronger academic achievement

🤝 Positive friendships and relationships

🏫 Greater connection to school

🎓 Increased opportunities for success

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 **FAMILIES, WE NEED YOUR HELP!**

By making attendance a priority, helping students arrive on time and ready to learn, and communicating with us when challenges arise, we can reach our goal together!

👏 Thank you for partnering with Arlington School District to help every student learn, grow, and succeed!

**EVERY STUDENT. EVERY DAY. EVERY OPPORTUNITY.**
