📚 Every Day Counts: Let’s Tackle Chronic Absenteeism Together 🎓
Did you know missing just 2 days a month can lead to chronic absenteeism? That adds up quickly—and can impact a student’s ability to read on grade level, stay engaged, and graduate on time.
That’s why our district partners with the Champaign-Ford ROE 9 Attendance Improvement Program. This initiative helps us:
✅ Monitor attendance more closely
✅ Identify patterns early
✅ Work directly with families to remove barriers to regular school attendance
🏫 School success starts with showing up—every day, on time, ready to learn. Together, we can support our students in building strong attendance habits for a brighter future.
📞 If you need support, don’t wait—reach out to your students’ school! We’re here to help.

“Be Present, Be Powerful!
Good Habits = Great Attendance = Success at School!
As we kick off the new year, it’s the perfect time to build strong routines at home that set students up for success! Here are 3 simple habits that can make a BIG difference:
📅 Set a consistent bedtime & morning routine
A good night’s sleep and a calm morning help students feel ready to learn.
🎒 Prep the night before
Pack backpacks, lay out clothes, and talk about what tomorrow will bring!
⏰ Prioritize daily attendance
Every school day counts. When students show up, they grow—socially, emotionally, and academically!
Let’s work together to help every student show up ready to shine ✨

PBL parents, supporters, and fans! Now’s your chance to show support for your athlete with a personal ad in this year’s sports program. This is a one-time opportunity. Ads must be submitted by August 1st and will be printed in both the Fall and Winter programs. We do not produce a Spring Sports program, so if your child only plays a spring sport and you want to recognize them, this is your chance to do it. Thanks for supporting our Panthers!
