Schools throughout the Provo City School District are celebrating attendance from Monday, September 28, through Friday, October 2, 2026, as part of the Show Up Provo campaign. The weeklong initiative aims to encourage positive attendance habits and recognize student progress, according to a September 28 report.
Show Up Provo is an attendance awareness campaign designed to bring families, schools, and the community together to support regular school attendance. The campaign emphasizes that being in class provides students with opportunities to learn, build relationships with classmates and teachers, and maintain connections to their school community.
Individual schools are hosting celebrations throughout the week. Families are encouraged to monitor communications from their child's school regarding specific plans or ways to participate.
To support consistent attendance, the district suggests that parents and caregivers establish regular bedtimes and prepare clothes and backpacks the night before. Families are also encouraged to discuss school learning with children, recognize improvements in attendance, and contact school staff if challenges make attending difficult.
Community organizations, local businesses, and PTAs can contact school leaders to determine how to support school celebrations and attendance goals. The district invites neighbors and families to continue encouraging students and celebrating their progress beyond the Show Up Provo week.
