Build the Habit of Good Attendance
Did you know?
- Students can still fall behind if they miss 1 or 2 days every few weeks.
- Being late to school may lead to poor attendance.
- Missing 10%, or 2 days a month, over the course of the year can affect a student's academic success.
- Absences and tardiness can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help a student catch up.
When a student misses two days a month:
- They will miss 20 days a year.
- They will miss over one year of school by graduation.
What You Can Do:
- Talk with your children about the importance of showing up to school every day.
- Know and understand the district's attendance policy.
- Establish and maintain a morning and nightly routine to make showing up for class stress-free.
- Only keep your child home if they are truly ill.
- Plan ahead and schedule routine doctor/dental visits on non-school days.
Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. Start building this habit in preschool so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day is important. Eventually, good attendance will be a skill that will help them succeed in high school and college.
