Attendance Matters!

The Importance of Attendance

When students miss school, they miss more than just a day of class.

• Learning adds up – Even a couple of absences each month can mean weeks of lost instruction by the end of the year.
• Friendships matter – Regular attendance helps children stay connected with classmates and teachers.
• Good habits last a lifetime – Showing up every day builds responsibility and prepares students for success in school and future careers.

How you can help:
• Schedule appointments outside of school hours when possible.
• Keep routines for bedtime and mornings to make school attendance easier.
• Let the school know if your child must be absent so supports can be provided.

Together, we can help every child succeed—by making sure they are present and engaged in school each day.

La Importancia de la Asistencia

Cuando los estudiantes faltan a la escuela, pierden más que solo un día de clases.

• El aprendizaje se acumula – Incluso unas pocas ausencias al mes pueden significar semanas de instrucción perdida al final del año.
• Las amistades cuentan – Asistir regularmente ayuda a los niños a mantenerse conectados con sus compañeros y maestros.
• Los buenos hábitos duran toda la vida – Asistir todos los días fomenta la responsabilidad y prepara a los estudiantes para tener éxito en la escuela y en sus futuras carreras.

Cómo puede ayudar usted:
• Programe las citas fuera del horario escolar siempre que sea posible.
• Mantenga rutinas de dormir y de la mañana para que la asistencia sea más fácil.
• Avise a la escuela si su hijo debe estar ausente para que se puedan brindar apoyos.

Juntos, podemos ayudar a que cada niño tenga éxito—asegurándonos de que esté presente y comprometido en la escuela

Two-Hour Morning Delay on Friday, Sept. 26

We want to let you know that Orrville City Schools will have a two-hour delayed start on the following dates:

  • Friday, September 26

  • Friday, December 5

  • Friday, March 6

  • Friday, April 24

On these mornings, buses will run on a two-hour delay, and classes will begin two hours later than the regular schedule.

These delayed starts are important because they provide our teachers and staff with dedicated time for professional development. This training enables us to collaborate, learn new strategies, and refine our skills, allowing us to continue providing the very best education and support for our students.

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we work to invest in our staff, which ultimately benefits every student in our district.

Sincerely,


Dr. David M. Toth
Superintendent
