📚🚨 School Attendance Matters! 🚨📚 Did you know? 🤔 Regular attendance not only helps students stay on track with their learning, but it also... - Develops strong habits for future success 🎓 - Helps build friendships and social skills 🤝 - Ensures your child doesn’t miss out on critical learning 📖 Every school day counts, and every absence, excused or unexcused, can impact a student's ability to learn and grow. Your involvement makes a big difference! Let’s work together to support our students and make every school day a success. #AttendanceMatters #BooneProud #EducationMatters #BooneProud
