Chronic Absenteeism Awareness
📚 Let’s work together to reduce chronic absenteeism! 🏫✨
Did you know there’s a difference between being chronically absent and being truant?
✅ Chronic Absenteeism: Missing 10% or more of the school year (about 18 days), for ANY reason—excused or unexcused.
❌ Truancy: Unexcused absences when a student skips without a valid reason or documentation.
Even excused absences add up! Missing just 2 days a month can put students at risk of falling behind. 📉
💡 Important Reminders:
✔️ If your child misses school, please send in a parent note or doctor’s excuse within 3 days of their return.
✔️ Did you know? Telehealth visits 🩺 are available through your child’s school, just complete the paperwork to use this convenient option!

📅 September is Attendance Awareness Month! 🌟
Every school day is a chance to learn, grow, and succeed. Let’s make every day count in Roane County Schools!
🎒 Students who attend regularly are more likely to succeed in reading, math, and be on track for graduation.
We want to thank our families for making sure your child is at school every day, on time, and ready to learn. Whether they’re dropped off in the car rider line or riding the bus, the first step to great attendance starts at home. Thank you, we appreciate YOU! 👏

Our students are back in the classroom, and that means it’s time for Board members to kick off the school year by participating in TSBA’s Fall District Meetings.
TSBA’s Fall District Meetings are held across the nine development districts and focus on legislative updates, legal issues, and current education “hot topics.” This year’s program provides school board members and superintendents an opportunity to discuss priorities for the 2026 legislative session as well as other important state developments.
In addition, the event recognizes school board members for their commitment to professional growth. TSBA presents Certified Board Member Awards and the Master Board Member Award to those who have invested their time and effort into becoming more informed and effective leaders. Recognition is based on participation in activities beyond local board responsibilities.
There are five levels of recognition:
Levels I through IV are acknowledged during the Fall District Meetings.
Level V (Master Board Member) is awarded at the annual TSBA Convention each November.
✨ We are proud to recognize the following Roane County Board of Education members for their accomplishments:
**Kristy Oran, Madam Chair, Board Member (Districts 5 & 6)– Level IV
**Jody Mioduski, Board Member (Districts 5 & 6) – Level I
**Robert Herrell, Board Member (District 5 & 6) – Level I
