📅 Attendance matters — every day counts! 🎒
Showing up to school every day has a huge impact on your child’s success. Missing just a few days a month can affect learning, grades, and even graduation.
✅ Did you know?
Missing 10% (or 2 days a month) can affect academic success.
By 9th grade, attendance is a better predictor of graduation than 8th grade test scores.
Students should miss no more than 9 days each school year.
👨👩👧 What families can do:
✔️ Make attendance a daily priority.
✔️ Keep routines consistent and healthy.
✔️ Stay engaged with your teen and their teachers.
✔️ Communicate with the school if challenges arise.

Our AFJROTC cadets participated in a 9/11 Stair Climb to honor the lives lost in the September 11 terrorist attacks. Following this tribute, they completed a 7.8K run/walk in celebration of the U.S. Air Force’s 78th birthday.
To close out the day, cadets had the special opportunity to visit the University of Florida Air Force ROTC facility, where UF cadets graciously provided a guided tour and shared insights into their program.

On August 11, 19 AFJROTC Bobcats woke up early and volunteered at a Homes for Our Troops community service event
The mission of Homes for Our Troops is “to build and donate specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives.”
Our cadets helped set up, clean up, and run the powerful Key Ceremony, where a disabled veteran and his family were given the keys to their new home. It was an emotional and inspiring event.
We’re so proud of our Bobcats for their service and leadership! 🖤💛
