We’re excited to kick off the Fall 2025 Superintendent Attendance Challenge! The goal is to inspire students, families, and schools to reach the District CEP attendance target of 92.9% because starting strong means finishing strong!

Challenge Period: October 1 – December 19 (approx. 52 school days)

Challenge #1: Start Strong!
Help us reach at least 93% attendance during the challenge period. The school with the highest percentage of students meeting this goal will be crowned the Fall 2025 Attendance Champion!

Challenge #2: Most Improved Attendance!
We’re aiming to beat last year’s attendance rate of 92.8%. The school with the biggest improvement compared to Fall 2024 will win the Superintendent’s Most Improved Attendance Award!

Let’s work together to make every school day count. Your support makes all the difference!
