🍎🌽 Attendance Matters in Doddridge County Schools! 🥦🥔
This week, students from both Doddridge County Early Learning Academy and Doddridge County Elementary School participated in a fun and meaningful on-site Farmer’s Market — part of our district-wide attendance incentive program!
Thanks to a valuable partnership with our Holistic Child Department/Communities In Schools Team, Route 18 Farmer’s Market, and the Doddridge County Farmer’s Market, students were rewarded for showing up ready to learn with tokens and shopping bags to “shop” for fresh, local produce. 🛍️🍏🎃
From cabbage, peppers, and pumpkins to apples, potatoes, and more, students were thrilled to choose their own fruits and veggies — many excited to bring them home and help prepare a family meal! 🥗👩🍳
We are incredibly thankful to our community partners for their time and generosity, and for helping us promote healthy habits and the importance of school attendance across Doddridge County.

📅 September is Attendance Awareness Month! 💼✏️
Did you know that students who miss 9 or fewer days in a 180-day school year are significantly more likely to stay on track academically and graduate on time?
📉 Missing just 2 days a month—even if excused—can lead to learning gaps, lower grades, and decreased engagement.
✅ Helpful tips for families to support strong attendance:
• Set a consistent bedtime and morning routine to make mornings smoother.
• Schedule appointments outside of school hours whenever possible.
• Keep communication open with teachers and the school if your child is struggling.
• Make school a priority—help your child understand that showing up matters.
• Plan vacations or trips during school breaks to avoid missed days.
Let’s work together to build strong attendance habits and support every child’s path to success—because every day counts!
