YOU MISS SCHOOL, YOU MISS OUT!
Did you know?
RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ATTENDANCE IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
ATTENDANCE FACTS
Missing out on school means missing out on learning. Missing even one day of school can make children fall behind in class. Even if it is the day before or after a school break, students are learning new things every day that will help them stay on track. It is important to also be on time each day so students don’t miss important parts of class.
What is chronic absenteeism? Just 2 absences per month can add up to missing 1 full month of school. This is called chronic absenteeism. This counts all absences - even excused absences with a doctor’s note. The student does not have to miss two days in a row to be at-risk. Any two absences per month can lead to chronic absenteeism.
This chart can help you see if your child is missing too many days of schools:
Here are some tips for making it to school on time, every day:
- Talk to your child about why attendance is important and keep them excited to go to school, on time, every day
- Use a calendar to keep track of your child’s absences from school
- Schedule regular check-ups at the doctor on school holidays
- Set bedtime and morning routines
- Decide on monthly attendance goals with your child
- Have a backup person to take your child to school for days you may be busy
- Talk to your child's teacher if getting to school on-time is hard for you
