Pioneer Middle School Launches Attendance Pledge Campaign

🔊 Listen · narrated by Aiden

Pioneer Middle School students and staff signed a 'Pledge to Be Present' banner on August 25, 2026, as part of the Every Day Counts attendance campaign. The banner will be displayed in a high-traffic area of the school to remind students that consistent attendance is critical to academic success.

Communities In Schools, partnering with Walla Walla Public Schools, will host six themed events during the 2026–27 school year to encourage regular attendance. The campaign aims to reduce the district's chronic absenteeism rate by three percentage points this year. The organization is seeking local business sponsors to support the initiative, which aligns with Vision 2030 Goal #4.
