IMPORTANT INFORMATION................................................................................................................
Middle School attendance and GPA provide the best indication of how students will perform in high school.
Students who are chronically absent or receiving Fs in the middle grades are at very high risk of being off-track for graduation in ninth grade, and eventually dropping out of school.
College readiness depends on very strong grades in middle school, as well as high school.
Improving grades and attendance in the middle grades can have a large pay-off for high school success; even more so than improving test scores. (Source: Attendance Works and ccsr.uchicago.edu)
Children who miss 18 or more days of the school year (2 days a month) starting in kindergarten are less likely to learn to read by third grade and graduate from high school.
A student who misses 2 days per month will end up missing 18 days during the school year, and that equals 10% of the school year? This is what is known as “Chronic absenteeism".
See excused religious holidays on the link below - please provide a note for the school.
