Murfreesboro City Schools wants you to know thatcoming to school on time, every day is important.
If children don't show up for school regularly, theymiss out on fundamental reading and math skills.They miss the chance to build a habit of goodattendance that will carry them into college andcareers.
Chronic absenteeism in kindergarten, and evenpreK, can predict lower test scores, poor attendanceand retention in later grades.
MCS wants to help our students stay on track andbuild good attendance habits. Good attendance willhelp children do well in high school, college and atwork.
Let's work together to reach our goal of making sureour students are at school on time and ready tolearn!
The first step is realizing that Everyday Matters.
