📚 Every Day Counts for Your Child’s Success! 📚

Attendance Matters – being in school every day makes a big difference. Missing just 2 days a month adds up—and by state definition, a student may be considered chronically absent.

✅ If your child must be absent, please remember to send in a parent note or doctor’s note so the absence can be excused.
✅ The Ohio Department of Education’s goal for the 25–26 school year is to reduce chronic absenteeism to 14.5% or less.

Let’s work together to build good habits now—because Strive for 5, Every Day Counts! 🌟

📅✨ 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. 💪📚
