Dallas ISD launches August attendance challenge

By The Hub on August 14, 2024 News Briefs

Starting the school year with perfect attendance sets the stage for academic success, ensuring students begin their educational journey on the right foot – fully engaged and ready to learn.

Since frequent absences can hinder progress and understanding, the Graduation, Recovery, Attendance/Advocacy, and Dropout Intervention Department is heading a month-long perfect attendance competition, challenging Dallas ISD students to be present and engaged from the first day of school.

Students are automatically entered into the challenge if they have perfect attendance from day one through Aug. 30. There will be one student winner per Trustee district. 

“We must encourage students to be present in school because instruction begins on the first day. Social and emotional connections begin to be made between students, their friends, school staff, and the entire school community on the first days of school,” Marcia Williams, director of the GRAAD Department, said. “Being present every day also sets students up for success because it begins the good practice for attendance and how they will attend school for the rest of the year.”
