ATTENDANCE AWARENESS MONTH

Click the banner below for a video on why attendance matters!

Give your student a better chance of success by sending them to school daily and on time!

September is Attendance Awareness Month and we want to remind

families that they are an essential partner in promoting attendance.

School is a students first and most important job, and 80% of

success is showing up. In addition to all of the academics, students

are learning how to show up for school on time every day, so that

when they graduate and get a job, they'll know how to show up for

work. Missing 10% of school days, either excused or unexcused

absences, can result in a student being put at risk of academic

failure and not graduating. Students who attend school regularly

are more likely to graduate and find better jobs, while students who

are chronically absent in any year of high school are 7.4x’s more

likely to drop out. In fact, a high school graduate will make, on

average, a million dollars more than a dropout over a lifetime.

#BeKind21

During the month of September, AUHSD will be participating in the 21 Days to be Kind Challenge.

What's the challenge? Help us make kindness - to ourselves and to our communities - a habit by practicing an act of kindness each day from September 1st to September 21st! Why are we doing this (and why should you join us)? Now more than ever, we need to prioritize the wellness of our own minds and bodies and of our communities. We need to transform the way we care for ourselves and to strengthen the bonds that hold us together - one human to another. Science says, doing something for 21 consecutive days helps turn it into a habit. That’s why Born This Way Foundation is inviting you to join their 21 Days To Be Kind challenge, starting on September 1st, making it a habit to put kindness into action and fostering a culture of compassion and wellness in the process. (Can't start on September 1st? That's ok! Just start your 21 days anytime before September 21st.)

Sign up to get trained in Mental Health First Aid

and learn how to help someone in your life facing

a mental health crisis or challenge.

Visit Born This Way Foundation for more

information and a chance to win two Lady Gaga

tickets to an upcoming show.

Check out what other people are doing for the

challenge and share your own experience with the

hashtag #BeKind21.
