Attendance Matters – Every Day Counts!
At Martha Gaskins Elementary School, we believe that every school day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed! Regular attendance is one of the most important factors in helping our scholars reach their full potential.
When students attend school every day, they are able to stay connected to classroom instruction, strengthen their reading and math skills, build positive relationships, and develop habits that lead to lifelong success.
We need the support of our families to make attendance a priority. Please help your scholar arrive at school every day, on time, ready to learn, and prepared to do their best.
Be Here. Be Ready. Be Engaged. Be Your Best!
Every Day Counts. Every Scholar Matters. Attendance Matters!
