Description

The Family Resource Centers for Lenoir City & Loudon County Schools are proud and excited to announce the launch of a new countywide school attendance awareness campaign titled “Get Your Selfie 2 School!”.

The main goal for Get Your Selfie 2 School!  is to unite Loudon County through community partners and sponsors from individuals, businesses, corporations, civic groups, non-profit service providers and faith-based organizations to assist in promoting the importance of regular school attendance and to decrease school chronic absenteeism. All the committed community partners and sponsors are encouraged and appreciated for promoting regular school attendance in their own and unique ways as they move through their daily operations or workplaces. Be reminded that many of those operations and workplaces involve people who are the parents of our students and reinforces the campaign’s goal.

Children that attend school on a regular basis are highly likely:

• To develop positive attitudes regarding academic learning, routines and work ethics.
• To become an adult who is a productive member of our community.
• To be a responsible highly motivated regular employee that:
• Understands a teamwork concepts, has an increased knowledge base of business goals and has less out of work time decreasing negative company culture and financial loss for businesses and companies.
• Has increased on job time and performance decreasing lost time rates.
• Has enhanced verbal and written communication skills.
