📊 Attendance Matters!
Data from FutureEd shows that chronic absenteeism (missing 10% or more of the school year) is improving nationwide, but no state has returned to pre-pandemic levels yet.
📌 Why this is important:
Every day in class matters! Being present helps students stay on track academically, build relationships, and feel connected to school.
👀 Curious about our state?
Parents and community members can use the interactive tracker to see where Illinois stands and how attendance compares across states!

Mrs. Miller's 1st Grade Class did a Hearts Across America project (I included the flyer) this year and were blown away by the response. They received over 115 valentines and post cards from 44 of the 50 states. They even received a coconut from Hawaii! Her class enjoyed reading state facts, the handwritten notes and they especially loved the packages that included candy or stickers!
They are still hoping to receive mail from Nevada, South Dakota, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Vermont and Delaware.
