Why Does Attendance Matter?
Every day in school matters from pre-kindergarten until high school graduation.
- Daily attendance is important for your child's school success.
- Missing just 2 days per month means your child may fall behind in school, fail subjects, or even drop out.
- It can take a child 3 days to catch up from a one-day absence.
