Pickerington Local Schools is proud to partner with  The Stay in the Game! Attendance Network, in collaboration with the Columbus Crew, will launch a new initiative to improve student attendance: "Stay in the Game! Keep Learning Every Day!"

September is Attendance Awareness Month, and we understand the importance of daily attendance for our students' academic and social-emotional growth. Missing a day of school here and there may not seem like much, but absences add up quickly:

• Missing just two days a month adds up to 20 days a year.
• That's 30 hours of math and 60 hours of reading and writing missed over the school year.
• These absences can add up to more than one full year of missed school by graduation!
