September is Attendance Awareness Month for Louisiana. To help raise awareness of the importance of child welfare and attendance in school the Jackson Parish School District is hosting at member schools a week of activities that will run from September 12th – 16th. 

“Reducing absenteeism means more students will be in the classroom daily,” reminded Jackson Parish Instructional Supervisor of Child Welfare & Attendance Director, Rhonda Lee, who encourages all parents to assist their children in participating in the week long of activities 

“If we all work together for this cause, we can decrease the number of absences we have one day at a time,” continued Lee. 

For a complete schedule of activities see below.
