Make consistent attendance a priority this school year! 🎒
Research shows that students who attend school daily achieve at higher levels than students who are frequently absent. Chronic absenteeism is linked to lower reading and math scores and a higher risk of dropping out of high school.
If you’re feeling well, you should be in school. Let’s work together to make the most of this school year! #MISDinspire #MISDOwnYourFuture
