95% to Thrive: Attendance Matters

Attending school every day is one of the most important ways students can succeed. Our "95% to Thrive" campaign encourages students to attend school at least 95 percent of the time, helping them stay on track academically, build meaningful relationships, and stay connected to their school community. By making attendance a priority, families can help students build strong habits that support learning throughout the school year.
