Showing Up Every Day
As part of its ongoing efforts to improve student outcomes, the Mount Vernon City School District has launched a campaign through its 'Jewel Box' newsletter to highlight the critical importance of daily attendance. The message is clear: showing up every day is the 'Mount Vernon Way.'
The Impact of Attendance
District leadership has identified consistent attendance as a key factor in student success. By keeping families informed and encouraging regular participation, the district hopes to close learning gaps and ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive academically.
Community Engagement
Through the 'Jewel Box,' the district shares regular updates and highlights, keeping the community connected to the daily life of the schools. This initiative is part of a larger strategy to foster a supportive environment where students feel encouraged to attend school and engage with their peers and teachers.
