Castaic Union School District

HAPPY ATTENDANCE AWARENESS MONTH!

While September is Attendance Awareness Month, our district’s pledge is to create a culture of 
achievement for every student, every day, all year long! This year, our commitment is to continue to 
provide a safe learning environment while we focus on re-establishing good attendance habits and 
family connections.

 

“Showing up” is a valuable life habit – it represents more than attendance, it’s an attitude – it’s 
showing up, being present, and being engaged. It’s also a great way to celebrate the start of our 
new school year. According to the research, attending school every day possible:

• Helps kids get back on track and recover lost momentum
• Promotes student learning and increases chances of graduation
• Helps kids feel better about school and themselves
• Improves mental health through socializing, developing friendships, building empathy and
  forming  lasting relationships with peers
• Allows for a personalized learning experience that keeps students from falling behind

 

Evidence shows when families and schools have strong relationships, children are more likely to stay 
in school, graduate, and do well academically and socially. With you and your family on our team, we 
will successfully prepare, educate and inspire every student.

Thank you for your dedication to show up all year long!
