In a recent meeting focused on educational initiatives, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) emphasized the importance of student attendance and community engagement as schools prepare to welcome students back for the new academic year. Ava Brown, a graduate of the class of 2025, shared her personal experience, highlighting how consistent attendance has equipped her with valuable skills that she will carry into her future studies at Albany State University.

The meeting underscored the message that "you belong here," reinforcing the idea that every student plays a vital role in the school community. With the first day of school set for Monday, August 4, SCCPSS officials urged families to ensure students are ready to return, emphasizing that regular attendance is crucial for academic success.

This initiative not only aims to boost attendance rates but also fosters a sense of belonging among students, encouraging them to engage fully in their educational journeys. As the school year approaches, the district remains committed to supporting students and families, ensuring that everyone feels welcomed and prepared for the challenges ahead.
