📣 Southview Attendance Update –Tuesday Night!
Ironmen, it’s time for a comeback! 💪
We’ve had two tough days in a row — both Westview and Northview have topped us in attendance. But the week isn’t over yet, and Southview still has time to take the lead!
We’ve been hanging close, but we need to make it clear that Southview shows up each day — ready, proud, and unstoppable. Tomorrow is our chance to make a statement and turn this challenge around!
📚 Attendance Fact:
Ohio’s new attendance law makes it clear that all absences — even excused ones — count toward chronic absenteeism. Being in school every day helps students stay on track and connected, and it shows our Southview pride in action.
Let’s show everyone what Southview can do when we all show up!
Be here. Be on time. You matter. You count. ❤️
Let’s flip the scoreboard tomorrow, Ironmen — see you in the morning! ☀️
📣 Southview Attendance Update – Monday Night!
Southview, we gave it a great effort today — but both Westview and Northview edged ahead of us in the attendance challenge today. 😬
The good news? We’re still in the game, and tomorrow’s our comeback day! We were close, but we need every single Ironman to help push us over that 96% mark and prove that Southview shows up each day! 💪
📚 Attendance Fact:
Under Ohio’s new attendance law, students are considered chronically absent if they miss 10% or more of the school year — that’s just 18 days total! Every day in class matters — for learning, friendships, and success.
Let’s turn it around tomorrow, Southview. 💥
Be here. Be on time. You matter. You count. ❤️
Let’s show Westview and Northview that Southview doesn’t give up — see you in the morning! ☀️
Southview Ironmen — it’s time to show what we’re made of! 💪
All week long, we’re on a mission to reach 96% attendance or higher every single day. We’re not just showing up — we’re going head-to-head with Northview and Westview to prove that Southview shows up each day! 🏆
Here’s the deal:
🎟️ If Southview hits the goal, every student earns 10 Attendance Ironbucks!
➕ You’ll also earn 1 Ironbuck each day you’re present and on time.
🍬 Hit 96% for the week, and the whole school celebrates with a sweet treat and maybe even an extra recess! 🎉
🚨 BONUS: Each morning, we’ll draw 15 names from downstairs and 15 from upstairs for a surprise! 👀 Will it be your name? Be here, be on time, and claim your surprise!
📚 Why Attendance Matters
Starting September 30, 2025, Ohio’s new attendance law makes it clear — every absence counts, even excused ones.
Students are now considered chronically absent if they miss 10% or more of the school year. That means showing up every day matters more than ever.
When you’re here, you learn, you grow, and you succeed. Every single day in class makes a difference — and Southview students are proving it!
Let’s show Northview and Westview that Southview shows up each day — ready, proud, and unstoppable!
Be here. Be on time. You matter. You count. ❤️
Set your alarms, grab your backpacks, and let’s make tomorrow a winning day at Southview! 🏫✨ See you tomorrow!
Every day your child is at school is a day of progress! Let’s aim for strong attendance all week—because being here matters.
