Two days a doesn’t seem like a lot but…two days a month adds up to:
One month per year
Chronic absenteeism
Gaps in learning
Missing opportunities
So let's SHOW UP TOGETHER because Every Day Counts!
We appreciate our School Psychologists!
During the week of November 6-10, 2023 schools throughout the United States will celebrate National School Psychology Week (NSPW) to highlight the important work school psychologists and other educators do to help all students thrive. This year's theme is "Let's Grow Together," inspired by the importance of both personal and shared strengths in our growth as individuals and school communities in every season of life. The theme recognizes every aspect of growth, as fundamental to effective learning environments and to school psychologists' role in supporting student well-being and learning. -National Association of School Psychologists

Every Day Counts! Absences add up, and even two days a month can impact a child's learning. Attendance is a lifelong skill. At school and in life, SHOWING UP MATTERS!
