Attendance Awareness Poster Contest: Every Day Counts

This year, the Attendance Awareness Poster Contest will be held in Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota county public schools on an opt-in basis. Since the inaugural Attendance Awareness Poster Contest in 2015, nearly 200,000 posters have been created by students about the importance of outstanding attendance.
We know that there’s no such thing as perfect, especially when it comes to attendance. After all, children do get sick or may need to miss school for a number of reasons. We know missing more than 10% of the work covered in class puts children in academic danger. To hit the mark of excellence this year, make every day a learning day!
