      Help Your Child Succeed: Build the Habit of Good Attendance

      Why does attendance even matter?

      • Starting in kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school.
      • Even if a child is late for school, it can lead to poor attendance and falling behind in their academics.
      • Missing 10% can make it harder to learn to read and put the child on the Chronic absentee list.
      • Even if you miss just a day or two every few weeks, it contributes to your students falling behind.
      • Absences can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help catch children up.
