Attendance Awareness Month may be ending, but our commitment to student attendance isn't. Supporting attendance is year-round work built on relationships, early intervention, problem-solving & partnership with families. If attendance becomes challenging at any point this year, reach out to your school. We want to work with you. Every month, Your Presence Matters.
There’s still time to recognize an amazing teacher! Nominations for the 26-27 Golden Apple Award are open through Oct. 15. Celebrate a PreK-5th grade teacher who inspires, supports, & makes a difference for students! goldenappleofrockford.com/golden-apple-teacher-awards/nominate/
When a student is struggling to attend school, there's often more to the story. Good attendance isn't just a school issue; it's a community effort. Families, schools & community partners all play a role in helping students overcome barriers & stay connected to learning. When a student is struggling to attend, the question isn't simply, “Why aren't you here?” It's also, “What is getting in the way, and how can we help?”
Sometimes the smallest moments of connection give students a reason to keep showing up & can make a BIG difference.
Attendance is about more than being in a seat. It's about connection, belonging & knowing that your presence matters.
Every student deserves to know they are missed when they're gone and valued when they're here.

Absences Add Up
Did you know? Missing just two days of school each month can add up to chronic absence over the course of a school year.
Every absence, excused or unexcused, means time away from learning, relationships and the routines that help students succeed.
The good news? It’s never too late to build stronger attendance habits. If getting to school regularly is becoming difficult, reach out to your school. We’re here to help!

All RPS 205 schools & buildings are closed today in observance of the federal holiday.
September is Attendance Awareness Month! Every day at school gives students opportunities to learn, build friendships, connect with caring adults & discover what they're capable of. Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing why attendance matters because every student brings something important to our schools.
