A 90% in class sounds like an "A," but when it comes to attendance, it tells a different story!
A 90% attendance rate means missing about 18 days—roughly a whole month—of valuable classroom instruction during the school year. In North Carolina, missing 10% or more of the days enrolled (whether excused or unexcused) is considered chronic absenteeism.
Every day counts! Be here. Be engaged. Be successful.

In observance of Veterans Day, Swain County Schools will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, November 11th. Classes will resume on Thursday, November 12th. We extend our deepest appreciation to all our veterans for their service and sacrifice. Thank you.
Ms. Anna Walls and her students from the OTA Program at SCC visited for "OT Day!" Her students prepare activities targeting motor needs of preschool students and then run activity stations for Pre-K students to try out and Pre-K teachers to gain ideas! Thank you, Ms. Anna & students!
Fun Fact: Swain's very own OTA, Ms. Jana, visited PreK as one of Ms. Anna's students years ago!

Every day counts!
Success isn't built on one big moment—it’s shaped by hundreds of small decisions, starting with simply showing up. Consistent attendance connects directly to academic achievement, staying on track, and walking across that graduation stage. Your future is worth showing up for!

School is about so much more than just grades and assignments—it’s where lifelong friendships are built, trust is formed, and students find their sense of belonging. Chronic absenteeism can pull students away from that community, but showing up every day keeps them connected.

Round Two of Pictures from today's Fun!
What a FUN FILLED Morning! Today was BOTH Super Hero Day AND Fall Fun Day!
We cannot say a big enough thank you to so many volunteers that made today a fun success. Darnell Farms for sending pumpkins, 15 Parent Volunteers, 20+ Middle School Students, and 35 parents who sent in supplies or prepped activities!
More pictures of the day to come!

Part 2 of Farm Day photos! Mr. Sorrell and his students brought pigs and goats for us to meet, Tessa & Teddy brought 2 of their hens, Ms. Natalie's turkeys and ducks came to visit, and Mr. Richie and his two horses, Bob and Millie, walked down the hill for a visit!
Yesterday, Bright Adventures Students experienced FARM DAY - a day full of farm related activities both inside their classrooms and outside! Children pretended to 'milk cows' and 'shear sheep' in their classrooms and met real horses, chickens, ducks, turkeys, goats, and pigs outside! A HUGE thank you to our community members who took the time to bring animals and share their knowledge of farming with our preschoolers. Hands on learning is always the best! (More pics to come)
Every day in class matters! Research shows that freshman attendance and grades are powerful predictors of high school graduation—even more so than eighth-grade test scores. Showing up today creates opportunities for tomorrow.

Happy Homecoming! Let's go, Swain!!📣
Remember October is Empathy for Swain County Schools Character Ed. What a cute way for Bright Adventures PreK to introduce their students to Empathy!
This morning, Ms. Shelby Cook from Swain Soil & Water Conservation visited to help us learn about worms! 🪱 We LOVE when she comes to visit! Thanks so much, Ms. Shelby!
Last month these students played Respect Bingo with their families. They practiced different ways of showing respect (holding a door open, using their manners, greeting people, etc) and won prizes! This month we are playing Empathy Bingo!

A Little Adds Up
Did you know that missing just 10% of the school year is considered chronic absenteeism?
In a typical 180-day school year, that's about 18 days — roughly one month of school.
And it doesn't take long to get there. Missing just two days per month can put a student in that range.
