SHOWING UP MATTERS 🎒📚: September is Attendance Awareness Month in Alabama, highlighting the important connection between consistent school attendance and student success.
•
A student is considered chronically absent when they miss 18 or more days of school during the year, including excused and unexcused absences. That can be as little as two or three missed days each month.
•
Regular attendance helps students stay connected to classroom instruction, build strong academic foundations, and remain on track for continued success.
•
Across Alabama, progress is being made. The state’s chronic absenteeism rate decreased from 14.84% to 12.05% on the 2025 State Report Card, and ALSDE has accepted the National Attendance Challenge to reduce chronic absenteeism by 50% over five years.

ART MEETS NATURE 🎨🐢✨: Auburn City Schools fifth graders are going on an adventure this week at the Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center!
•
🌊The 2026 Adventures in Art program is taking students from all five ACS elementary schools on an exploration of the Gulf, blending creativity with the incredible biodiversity found in our coastal ecosystems.
•
🔎Students rotate through four experiences, including a photography gallery featuring the work of Auburn University artist Chuck Hemard, an interactive presentation with the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, and two hands-on art workshops.
•
🌲Along the way, they are learning about longleaf pine forests, prescribed fire, and the gopher tortoise while creating collaborative tortoise-shell ceramic tiles and making tree-ring prints with ink created from charcoal from prescribed burns!
•
💯Adventures in Art is always a creative way to connect art to a variety of subjects while providing students an opportunity to learn from artists, educators, and community partners beyond the classroom.
•
💙Thank you to the City of Auburn, the Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center, the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, and everyone involved in making another Adventures in Art experience possible for ACS students!
