Every Student, Every Day

As we transition from summer to the 2024-2025 school year, we want to remind our Neshaminy families that every student's attendance, every day, is crucial to their academic success.

It's important to understand that students who miss school frequently are at risk of lower academic achievement, failure, and even dropping out.
