Attendance Matters
September is Attendance Awareness Month: Build the habit of good attendance early.
Did You Know? Missing as little as 2-3 days every month leads to 3rd- grade students falling behind in reading.
Students who maintain good attendance through all years of school:
- Achieve grade-level standard at a higher rate.
- Graduate from high school at a higher rate.
- Develop good habits that contribute to success in school and in future careers.
It takes an average of three days to catch up for each day a student is absent.
