September is National School Attendance Awareness Month. And this year, more than ever, school attendance is tantamount. Throughout the month, Cabarrus County Schools will raise awareness of the importance of school attendance through our Present, Engaged and Supported! campaign. The campaign emphasizes that strong, trusting relations between students, families, teachers and other critical school staff will have a significant impact on the ability of students to focus and learn in this new environment. Establishing and maintaining regular communication with families and welcoming them as partners will help ensure that students are supported at home and in school.

 

Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that it would extend the waiver allowing free meals to all children ages 1-18 until December 31, 2020.
