Every School Day Matters! Attendance Campaign. ¡Campaña de Asistencia - Cada Día de Escuela Cuenta!

Every school day matters!

Academic success for Colorado students starts with being in school on time every day. Every member of our community has a role to play in supporting student attendance, and this resource hub is designed to help schools, parents, families, and local partners spread the word that every school day matters.
