The Rhode Island Department of Education has officially kicked off the 2025 Attendance Matters RI Student Video Contest, aimed at raising awareness about the importance of school attendance among students. This initiative encourages students across the state to creatively express their understanding of why attending school regularly is crucial for their academic success and personal growth.
Participants are invited to submit videos that highlight the positive impacts of consistent attendance, as well as the challenges that may lead to absenteeism. The contest not only seeks to engage students in meaningful discussions about attendance but also aims to foster a sense of community and responsibility among peers.
Winning entries will be showcased, providing students with an opportunity to share their insights and creativity with a broader audience. The Rhode Island Department of Education hopes that this contest will inspire students to prioritize their education and recognize the long-term benefits of being present in school.
