About

Pledge

Last week, CIS Specialist Ms. Alexandrya, hosted a bullying prevention event at Walker-Spivey Elementary in collaboration with the school counselor. The theme was “Be a Buddy, Not a Bully!” Students in grades K–2 colored ribbons, while students in grades 3–5 signed a pledge to help prevent bullying. Through activities like these, we’re helping students build a school community where everyone feels safe and supported.

To inspire friendly competition between classrooms, Jobs for North Carolina's Graduates (JNCG) in the 9&10, program and 11&12 program at Concord High School held a competition during Attendance Awareness Month. 💙647 total students took the Pledge to be Present but the winners were the 9&10 program with 💙369 completed Pledges. The 11&12 grade program followed up with 💙278 Pledges respectively. Shoutout to Specialists Jerald Freeman and Lashay Fernandez for an engaging event inspiring students to show up and be present every day.

Yesterday, Lewis Chapel Middle School wrapped up Attendance Awareness Month with an interactive event hosted by Student Services. Students pledged to be PRESENT by filling out their “Pledge to be Present” cards, learned about the clubs offered at LCMS, and were connected with resources to support their mental health. This event was a fun and creative way to increase student engagement, highlight the importance of being present at school, and provide information about mental health resources.

As we continue through the school year, let's remember that every day counts for students. Being PRESENT Matters. Thank you to the students, families, educators, and community members who have taken the Pledge to Be Present. Our work doesn't stop here. Let's continue to ensure every student has the support they need to show up to school engaged and ready to learn: CISNC.org #BeingPresentMatters #PledgeToBePresent #AttendanceAwarenessMonth #allinforkids
