📚✨ Showing Up Makes a Difference! ✨📚
Did you know that missing just 2 days each month adds up to 10% of the school year? That level of absence is considered chronic and can make a big impact.
When students aren’t in class regularly, it’s harder to stay on top of lessons, build lasting friendships, and feel truly connected at school.
✅ Consistent attendance supports growth in reading, math, and beyond.
✅ It builds self-confidence and keeps future opportunities within reach.
✅ Most importantly, it lays the foundation for long-term success.
💡 Families, schools, and communities all play a role in helping students attend every day. When students show up, they set themselves up to thrive—today and in the future!

📚✨ Every Day Counts! ✨📚
Did you know that students who miss 10% or more of the school year (that’s just 2 days a month) are considered chronically absent?
Chronic absenteeism makes it harder for students to stay on track with learning, build strong friendships, and feel connected at school.
✅ Attending school regularly helps students succeed in reading, math, and beyond.
✅ It builds confidence and keeps opportunities wide open.
✅ Most importantly—it prepares students for their future.
💡 Families, schools, and communities can work together to ensure every student is present, engaged, and thriving. Because when students show up, they grow up stronger! #ClioCares #ClioWantsYouHere #AttendanceAwareness #MakeEverydayCount

Mrs. Wakefield hosted a Day of Coding, where her students led their peers through hands-on lessons in BASIC and Python programming. Using the Texas Instruments Rovers, students coded robots to move, turn, and solve challenges, bringing math to life in an exciting way! 🤖
It was amazing to see students step up as leaders, sharing their coding knowledge and showing how math, technology, and creativity all come together.
