Good afternoon FESD community. For the first three weeks of school, attendance in the district has been excellent! Through Friday, the district's overall attendance rate was 95.73%. Both Toddy Thomas and Walker have percentages over 96%!
Our attendance goal is 96% for each site. We want EVERY student to be happy and successful, and being in school regularly improves both success and contentment for kids. Studies show that students who regularly attend school and graduate from high school build a foundation for more positive life outcomes including:
Better academic performance
More work options and earning potential as adults
Greater opportunities for higher education
Higher civic engagement
More developed life skills that positively influence health and economic decisions
