Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2026, is Count Day across Michigan schools — and every student matters. Count Day is one of the most important days of the school year because student attendance helps determine a portion of the state funding Paw Paw Public Schools receives to support our students, classrooms and programs.

Please make every effort to ensure your child is at school and in attendance on Count Day. Every student. Every classroom. Every day. Every count matters. #attendancematters #buildgoodhabits #SchoolEveryDay #findyourpack
