DCPS gears up for ‘High Attendance Day’ – Sept. 20 The Daviess County Public Schools district is participating in a statewide focus on school attendance, which will culminate with “High Attendance Day” on Thursday, Sept. 20. Damon Fleming, DCPS director of student services, said good attendance is a key element in a child’s academic success. He encourages parents to support good attendance. “One of the most important things a family can do to support academic success for a child is as simple as an expectation of going to school every day,” he said. “Research shows that good attendance record may be the biggest factor influencing academic success. By attending school regularly, a child is more likely to keep up with the daily lessons and assignments which will lead to obtaining important learning benchmarks.” DCPS schools are a place where kids want to be! Our classrooms are filled with excitement about teaching and learning throughout the year. Incentives for PERFECT attendance sponsored by our PAWS organization are: 8-$10 cash prizes, 2- $10 gift cards, 2 DC Hats, 2 Raglan Shirts, 2 T-shirts, 2 bag chairs and 10 PAW decals. Also, 2 Sports Passes donated by DC Athletics. Please mark your calendars and encourage attendance on this day and every day!
