Attendance is the foundation of student success.

As we close out Attendance Awareness Month, we’re reminding our community that when students show up, they set themselves up to thrive. Regular attendance helps students stay on track, build strong learning habits, graduate, and be prepared for a future with living-wage opportunities.

Let’s keep working together to make sure our students are in school every day because attendance matters!

Today is Constitution Day, a time to recognize and celebrate the document that has guided our nation for more than two centuries. Across Caddo Parish, schools marked the day with lessons, activities, and conversations about the freedoms and responsibilities we share as Americans.

At C.E. Byrd High School, students had a special opportunity to hear from Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux, who spoke about the Constitution and the fundamental freedoms it protects.
