Whether it's through creative lessons, one-on-one guidance, or simply being a listening ear, our teachers are making a real difference every day.

Today, we’re shining a light on the incredible educators who nurture our youngest learners. 💛📚
Every day, these teachers lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. With patience, creativity, and care, they guide our students through their first steps in reading, writing, math, and so much more. But beyond academics, they teach kindness, curiosity, confidence, and community.
To our PreK–4th grade teachers: THANK YOU. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and we are so grateful for your heart and dedication. 💐✏️
Why School Attendance Matters
Showing up each day makes a difference! Regular school attendance is one of the strongest predictors of student success, both in the classroom and later in life. When students attend school consistently, they build strong learning habits, develop critical social skills, and stay on track academically.
Missing just a few days here and there can quickly add up. Research shows that students who are chronically absent—missing 10% or more of the school year—are more likely to fall behind in reading and math, struggle to stay engaged, and face greater challenges graduating on time.
Good attendance also prepares students for the future. Being present and on time teaches responsibility, commitment, and time management—skills that post-secondary schools and employers value highly.
Parents and guardians play a critical role in supporting attendance. Encouraging routines, scheduling appointments outside of school hours, and communicating with teachers when challenges arise can all help keep students in class and learning.
At Henderson County Schools, we are committed to helping every student thrive. By making school attendance a top priority, families and schools can work together to give our children the best chance at success—today and in the future.
