Attendance

Prompt and regular attendance at school is required by law for all children. In addition, regular presence in school has a direct, important impact your student’s educational success. 

Missing just 1-2 days of school a month, (even if it is excused) can lead to lower reading scores, falling behind peers and a much greater chance of not graduating. In addition, if a student misses an entire day of school, your school will not receive important state funding for educational materials and programs.
