Attendance Really Matters

Missing a day of school here and there may not seem like much, but absences add up.

When a student misses 2 days a month….  They will miss 20 DAYS a year.  They will miss 30 HOURS of math over the school year.  They will miss 60 HOURS of reading & writing over the school year.  They will miss over 1 YEAR of school by graduation.

When a student misses 4 days a month…  They will miss 40 DAYS a year.  They will miss 60 HOURS of math over the school year.  They will miss 120 HOURS of reading & writing over the school year.  They will miss over 2 YEARS of school by graduation. 

Attendance really does matter! The more our students are in school – the better they will do. Absences also lead to stress & anxiety because it makes the student feel behind or out of the loop. Granted, some absences can’t be avoided, but doing all we can to make sure our kids are in school will pay off for them in the long run for sure.
