September is National Attendance Awareness Month, and School District U-46 is excited to kick off the school year with our Every Minute Matters campaign, centered on this year's theme: First Day, Every Day. To celebrate Attendance Awareness Month, all U-46 schools will participate in our first annual Districtwide Grade-Level Attendance Challenge! Throughout September, each grade level's weekly attendance will be tracked to see which grade level earns the highest attendance across the district. The challenge culminates in the recognition and celebration of U-46's top-performing grade level.

Here are the results from the first week of the All-District September Grade-Level Attendance Challenge!

Congratulations to the top 3 finishers from each grade level.

Week 1: September 8th

  • Gold - Third Grade

  • Silver - First Grade, Second Grade, Fourth Grade

  • Bronze - Fifth Grade

Check the Attendance and Absence Management page for winners from the previous week and other attendance resources.
