OGHS Attendance
Attendance is vital!
It is extremely important that students attend school every day and on time. Students who miss fewer than 10 days of school per year experience many benefits, including:
Better grades and academic achievement (60% better grades/test scores than students with 10+ absences)
Higher chance of graduating (students with more than 10 absences per year are 74% more likely to not graduate)
More involved in activities (which leads to better opportunities in life)
Happier and in better health (Being around other people helps our physical and emotional health)
Families: Help your child and help your family. Get students to school every day by 8:20 a.m.
Students: Help yourself be successful and make your family proud. Get to school every day, on-time, and ready to learn!
