Join the movement to make sure every child is counted in the 2020 Census by taking part in Statistics in Schools Week: Everyone Counts!

From March 2-6, this weeklong series featured fun classroom activities, provided by the SIS program, to educate students about the importance of the once-a-decade count. Daily themes included "What is the Census?" and "Shape My Community's Future." We'll also invite you to join us on a virtual field trip to the U.S. Census Bureau headquarters. As a key part of this week, we are asking teachers across the country to send every student home with this multilingual flyer. 

Stay up to date with our email updates, and use hand-picked activities to make a difference in your students' lives this year and in the decade ahead.
