Every Day Counts - New Attendance Updates for 2026-2027 School Year

To help families prepare for the upcoming school year, we're sharing important state law updates that begin in 2026-2027.

These changes affect all Mississippi schools.

We know that children get sick and that family emergencies happen. We also know that family experiences are important, and we understand that circumstances arise throughout the year.

We encourage families to communicate with their principal in advance whenever possible so we can work together, minimize disruptions to learning, and help students stay on track academically.

We are committed to partnering with families because every day in school is an opportunity for students to learn, grow, and succeed.
