Every day Counts!

Showing up for school significantly impacts a student's academic success, starting in kindergarten and continuing through high school. Even as children grow older and more independent, families play a crucial role in ensuring students get to school safely every day and understand why attendance is so important for success in school and life. 

Pleasant Valley School District encourages parents/guardians to make sure their children attend school regularly. Research indicates the higher the student's attendance rate, the more the student will learn and experience academic success in the future. Excessive absences in grades as early as kindergarten have proven to negatively impact students' future academic success throughout their school years. Please consider the following to help your child maintain excellent attendance:

• Schedule medical and dental appointments during non-school hours so your child misses the least amount of school.

• Avoid making travel and vacation plans when school is in session.
