September is National School Attendance Awareness Month. Throughout the month, Cabarrus County Schools will raise awareness of the importance of school attendance through weekly messaging.

The slogan for this year’s campaign is Here Today, Ready for Tomorrow! which not only highlights how schools offer opportunities for students to gain a solid foundation for a healthy and productive life, it also lifts up the connection between regular attendance, success after graduation and a well-prepared workforce.
