HIGHLAND OAKS MIDDLE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE PLEDGE
Being present every day matters for success in school and beyond. To make sure every child has a fair chance to learn and succeed, no matter their background or situation, we are focused on reducing absences and tackling the reasons why students miss school or leave early. To address these challenges, it is crucial for us to work together to create a welcoming and equitable school environment. By completing this pledge, we understand that students should be on time, in school every day, for the entire school day. We can better support students and encourage regular attendance and active learning.
