In order to raise awareness on the link between school attendance and academic achievement, Dallas ISD is hosting the national September Attendance Awareness Month with a focus on reducing chronic absenteeism to give all students an equitable opportunity to learn, grow and thrive academically, emotionally and socially.
Attendance Awareness Month will provide the district with an opportunity to raise student and community awareness on the importance of school attendance and demonstrate that attendance is a top priority.
The 2019-2020 Dallas ISD Attendance Awareness Month theme will be “#ShowUp!” Dallas ISD for the month of September. Coordinated by Parent Services, Student Engagement and Counseling Services, the month will be celebrated with promotional materials, weekly activities, contests, and a social media campaign challenge using the hashtag #showupdallasisd.
