HIGH ATTENDANCE is the foundation of success in school!
As part of the 90% by 2020 efforts to raise graduation rates, United Way of Anchorage has created the Attendance Champion program to get businesses in on the fun!
Attendance Champions help us share the #SchoolEveryDayANC message with their employees and customers.
Regular school attendance is a key indicator of whether a child will graduate high school and you are in a unique position to help us spread the word.
It’s a critical message, it’s easy to participate, and it’s free!
By becoming an Attendance Champion, you help share the message that attendance is important.
High attendance leads to:
– Better grades
– Better work habits
– High graduation rates
When more students have their high school diploma:
– We have a better prepared workforce.
– They have a foundation for future success.
– Our economy benefits.
You are in a strategic position to influence the community perception and the value of the role we all play in helping our students succeed in school and reach high school graduation – even if we aren’t parents.
