The Full Picture: Attendance Awareness Month

When students are at school, they are able to discover their interests, find their fit, and challenge themselves daily. Through a comprehensive curriculum that is designed to prepare students for post-secondary success, career exploration that allows students to imagine, plan, and ask questions about their future, and extracurricular offerings that support their social and emotional well-being, being present in school matters.  

The Full Picture is a district attendance awareness initiative that highlights the opportunities that are available to our students when they are present at school.
