JUSD'sAttend Today, Succeed for Life! campaignis recognized as a 2024 Award of Excellence winner from the California School Public Relations Association and a 2024 Golden Achievement Award from the National School Public Relations Association.

Jurupa Unified is among only 13 districts statewide to earn the California Department of Education's Model School Attendance Review Board (SARB) Award in 2026 in recognition of our efforts in reducing chronic absenteeism.

Research shows that it is essential for students to attend school regularly in order to be successful. September is Attendance Awareness Month and a great time to reinforce the importance of attending school every day. Missing as few as two days a month can have a detrimental effect on a student’s success. Remember all school is important and even in TK/Kindergarten, students are engaged in critical learning every day.

We know that there may be many reasons why students miss school, but their daily attendance is so important. Please know that we are here to help if you are having challenges with making sure your child attends every day. If you need support, please reach out to your school.

We also want school to be a fun experience for students. Our schools have some unique incentives planned to encourage good attendance. Be on the lookout for more information from your child’s school.
