Every Day Matters!
In this edition of the Attendance Matters series, we discuss the importance of showing up to school every day.
Did you know students only attend school for less than half of the year? There are only 180 days of school each year. The rest of the year is peppered with days and weeks off to visit with family and friends.
So, please, as you make your holiday travel plans:
| 📅 Use only non-school days for travel, holiday celebrations, and visiting with family and friends. |
| ✈️ If traveling, make sure that your plans allow for flight delays, ️inclement weather, and allow your student to rest and get back on schedule for a day or two before school starts again. |
Every day of school is an important opportunity for students to learn and connect with classmates and teachers.
Research shows that even two absences a month (whether excused or unexcused) can put a student behind in their learning.
Strive for Five! Attend 5 days a week and have fewer than 5 absences in a semester.
