Attendance Matters

The South Dakota Department of Education is running an attendance awareness campaign aimed at helping students and families understand the negative impacts of chronic absenteeism. The campaign will utilize various platforms including social media, billboards, and radio to share messages about the importance of regular school attendance. 

Check out our attendance awareness webpage and feel free to reinforce messaging at the local level. The campaign will run throughout the coming weeks and is supported with funding through the American Rescue Plan.
