Attendance
we believe that students who attend school regularly have greater success in
school and in life.
Every day counts! Being at school is important; and whether excused or unexcused, the number of days your student misses can greatly impact their academic success. Families should strive for regular attendance, which means averaging less than two absences per month. An absence is defined as missing 50% or more of the scheduled day. Attendance is taken daily at each of our schools.
Did you know?
- Starting in kindergarten, regular attendance sets the stage for academic achievement and social growth.
- Missing 10% of the school year (or about 18 days) can make it harder for students to keep up with their peers in reading and math.
- Even a day or two of missed school every few weeks can add up and create challenges over time.
- By 6th grade, regular attendance becomes one of the key indicators of future high school success.
- By 9th grade, strong attendance habits are a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores.
