We all know that showing up to school every day is a good idea, but did you know that regular attendance has a direct impact on your child's academic success? The data shows a clear link: students who attend school regularly are more likely to achieve higher grades and perform better on standardized tests. In fact, a study by the Ad Council found that chronic absenteeism—missing 10% or more of the school year (just two days a month)—can cause students to fall behind their peers, starting as early as kindergarten. This gap only widens over time.

The Power of Being Present

When your child is in class, they're not just learning facts; they're also building important social and emotional skills. They learn how to collaborate with classmates, participate in discussions, and build strong relationships with their teachers. These skills are essential for success in school and beyond. Consistent attendance also helps students develop a sense of routine and responsibility, which are crucial for future success.

A Shared Responsibility

We understand that sometimes things happen, and a day off is necessary. However, we encourage families to prioritize school attendance whenever possible. By working together, we can ensure every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential. If you're struggling with attendance, please reach out to the school office. We're here to help!
