Bayview Elementary was the twentieth and final school to participate in Norfolk Public Schools' divisionwide school-to-school attendance challenge; the school hosted a parade and assembly on May 2 to present a symbolic attendance flag.
District organizers said every school in the division participated in the challenge and that consolidated attendance data will be released in the fall to show the district's efforts to address chronic absenteeism.
The announcer described the May 2 event at Bayview as "a fabulous heartwarming school wide parade and assembly" where district leaders presented a symbolic 2024–25 attendance flag. The district encouraged continued focus on daily attendance and said the challenge aims to demonstrate that "attendance truly counts at NPS and [sets] our students up for success one day at a time."
The announcement also said the district recognizes schools that lead in combating chronic absenteeism and congratulated campuses that earned awards for best and most improved attendance in March; specific school names for those recognitions were not listed in the summary.
