Attendance Matters! That is the message that the Jackson Parish School District wants students, parents, teachers, and administration to understand. It is so important to be in school every day possible, because success is gained each day school is in session.

The school year has gotten off to a great start for attendance, as three of the four institutions in the Jackson Parish School District had over 95% attendance or better through September, led by Jonesboro-Hodge Elementary at 95.62%. Quitman High School followed at 95.39%, and Weston High School was at 95.26%. Jonesboro-Hodge High School had a 93.47% attendance mark.
