Kindergarten Round Up

Attendance Matters: In Class Is Where It’s At!

Every school day is an opportunity for students to learn, connect with friends, and grow. Regular attendance helps students stay engaged in their learning and feel connected to their school community.

Through the Stronger Connections initiative, Hamtramck Public Schools partnered with HQ22 Creatives to create the In Class Is Where It’s At! attendance campaign. Families are invited to explore the campaign resources and learn more about the importance of attending school every day.

Michigan Compiled Law 380.1293 requires Michigan school districts to provide a Post-Graduation Opportunities Informational Packet to every student enrolled in grades 8–12 by October 1 of each school year. The Michigan Department of Education, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, has organized these resources through the Michigan Career Pathfinder website. The online collection of resources serves as the state’s Post-Graduation Opportunities Informational Packet. The resources are intended to help students and families explore the many pathways available during and after high school. Students and families can use these resources to:

• Research Michigan colleges and universities
• Compare college and postsecondary education options
• Learn about financial aid and resources for paying for college
• Explore careers and employment opportunities
• Search for jobs and career preparation resources
• Learn about military service and community service opportunities
• Complete career, interest, and skills assessments
• Explore opportunities to earn college credit while attending high school
• Learn about dual enrollment and early middle college opportunities
• Find career and technical education and workforce training options
• Explore apprenticeships, certifications, and other career pathways
• Develop and continue reviewing an Educational Development Plan
• Identify possible next steps when a student is unsure about plans after graduation
