Attendance Awareness

September is Attendance Awareness Month, a time for individuals and organizations to learn about attendance issues and absenteeism.


The Sanford School Department recognizes that attendance is essential to academic success. 


Missing 10 percent, or about two days each month of the school year, can make it harder to learn to read.

Students can still fall behind if they miss just one or two days every few weeks. For tips on how to improve attendance, follow this link.
