📅✨ September is Attendance Awareness Month! ✨📅
Showing up matters — every single day! Did you know that regular school attendance is one of the biggest predictors of student success? When students are in school, they are learning, building relationships, and preparing for a bright future. 🌟
This year, each school in the Adams County Ohio Valley School District has an Attendance Banner proudly displayed to remind us of our goal:
✅ Strive for 5 (fewer than 5 absences all year)
✅ Every Day Counts
A special shout-out to the talented students in the WUHS FORGE Lab who designed and created these banners for our schools! 🙌 Their work is helping spread the important message that attendance matters.
Let’s work together to build strong habits, encourage one another, and celebrate the power of showing up. 💪📚

📚 Attendance Matters! 📚
Good school attendance is key to your success! Did you know that missing just 2 days of school each month—for any reason—can label a student as chronically absent according to the state of Ohio? 😮
If you ever do need to miss, make sure to bring a parent note or doctor’s note to have the absence excused. Every day counts toward your success! ✅
