Consistent attendance helps students stay on track academically and make the most of their time at school. Please take a moment to review the information in these flyers, from Duval County Public Schools, regarding attendance, excused and unexcused absences, and what families can expect if absences continue. Every day counts. Every student matters! Thank you for your support in your child's education. We appreciate you!
