"Families In Schools is an organization that is
simply fabulous, they promote learning and
the gathering of families that is fun and
wholesome," - Ema Vega
Attending school ready to learn is important for children to succeed in school and life! Attend & Achieve encourages children, preschool – 12th grade, to attend school EVERY DAY. From September 16, 2017 through December 20, 2017 Families In Schools will be incentivizing families to learn, develop strategies and healthy habits to support their children’s attendance. By talking about attendance as a family, parents can support their child’s learning, and better their chances of graduating from high school. Register to become a participating family!
