This February, our attendance focus is “I Belong Here,” as part of our Show Up & Show Out campaign. In high school, feeling connected to caring adults and a supportive school community plays a key role in students’ motivation, engagement, and persistence toward graduation.

Everyday actions—being noticed, checked in on after an absence, and encouraged by teachers and staff—help students feel valued and supported. When students feel they belong, they are more likely to attend regularly, stay engaged in learning, and build habits that support academic success, continuing enrollment, and well-being.

A strong sense of belonging is linked to improved academic outcomes and is protective for mental health. At BISD, EVERY student and EVERY family are valued. Together, we can create school environments where every student knows they matter—and that we are better when they are here.
