Regular attendance is vital for student success. When students attend regularly, starting as early as preschool and kindergarten, they have an opportunity to achieve academically and thrive. Research shows that when students are chronically absent – missing 10% or more of the school year or 18 days over an entire year – they are less likely to read proficiently by third grade, achieve in middle school and graduate from high school.
This year to celebrate Attendance Awareness Month St. James Parish Schools will host an Attendance Awareness Month Art Contest!! Students are encouraged to submit a drawing highlighting "Why Attending School is Cool". For more information please click the link below.
