A day after the district sent out a Tweet expressing disappointment over poor student attendance during Monday’s half-day, the district was more than happy to announce that the schools were stuffed with students again on Tuesday.

“What a difference one day makes! Time to #celebrate not only is it #TacoTuesday but its also an #awesome #studentsuccess #attendance day,” the Tweet proclaimed.

So congrats to Morton Middle School for leading the day with a 98 percent student attendance rate.
