Attendance Matters
The Stanislaus County Office of Education and all 25 school districts, have embarked on a county-wide campaign, "Every Day Counts" Attendance Initiative which emphasizes the importance of attending school daily.
Regular attendance is not just about meeting the required number of days at school; it plays a pivotal role in a student's overall development and academic success.
When students attend school every day, they have a better chance to engage with the curriculum, participate in discussions, and collaborate with peers. This continuous exposure to the learning environment fosters a deeper understanding of subjects and enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Every Day Counts 2023-24 Recap
In 2023-24, SCOE, in collaboration with all 25 school districts in Stanislaus County, launched the Every Day Counts - Attendance Matters campaign. This joint effort aimed to promote the importance of daily school attendance and reduce chronic absenteeism. Did you know that students who miss one day of school fall two days behind in their schoolwork? This can significantly affect a student's ability to succeed academically, develop essential life skills, and graduate on time.
Over the year, awareness efforts aimed to increase average daily attendance rates (ADA) by 1%, a significant achievement in the context of large school districts. The campaign also aimed to decrease chronic absenteeism and increase multimedia impressions in the community. In addition, SCOE partnered with Modesto Toyota and gave away a car to Pitman High School student Ekjot Johal on May 17. This initiative was open to all public high school students who could earn entries into the contest for each month in which they had perfect attendance.
Overall, the campaign exceeded the set goals. The ADA increased by a significant 1.55%. This increase was a key indicator of the campaign's success, as it directly correlates with improved student learning and academic performance. In addition, chronic absenteeism decreased by 5%. This means that more students are attending school and not falling behind in their studies. Lastly, the community outreach included over 30,000,000 impressions, further solidifying the positive impact of the collective efforts of the county office and school districts working together.
