Why Attendance Matters

Every school day matters. We’re your partners in making every day count!

Missing just two days of school per month equates to approximately one month of lost learning per year.

School attendance in a child's early years is tied to students' reading at grade level.

In high school, consistent attendance supports graduation and future careers.
