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.
