November Attendance Competition

November Attendance Rivalry: Grateful You Are Here

A cartoon red apple with a green leaf runs while holding a football against a black background.Every day counts, and every day you're here makes your school stronger. 

This November, every school in Salt Lake City School District is in a friendly competition to see which schools can make the biggest gains in attendance. From Nov. 2 to Nov. 30, schools compete against other schools at the same level (elementary, middle, and high school), starting with a goal to beat their own October attendance. We're grateful for every student who walks through our doors, and this month we're celebrating it. 

How It Works 

Each school starts with a goal: beat its own October attendance rate. From there, the challenge builds week by week. 

Week Dates The Challenge
Week 1: Kickoff Nov. 2-6 Beat your school’s Actober attendance rate.
Week 2: Move the chains Nov.9-13 Improve on Week 1.
Week 3: The Comeback Nov. 16-20 Make your biggest gain yet.
Week 4: Finish Strong Nov. 23-24 and 30 Stay above your October rate all the way to the end.


Three Ways to Win

  • First Down: Any school that improves its attendance over the week before earns a First Down. We post First Down schools every Monday. 
  • Rivalry Champion: The school at each level with the highest attendance rate for November. 
  • Comeback Champion: The school at each level with the biggest improvement from October to November. 

Champions will be announced in December.
