Attendance Matters. Help us, help you. We know that sickness happens, and in most cases, missing school due to illness is necessary and out of our control. However, there are many other circumstances related to absences that occur, and we're always here to help. Attending school regularly is essential to students gaining the academic and social skills they need to thrive. Chronic absence, no matter its cause, has real life consequences for students, families and society as a whole. Research shows that starting as early as preschool and kindergarten, chronic absence—missing 10% of the academic year—can leave third graders unable to read proficiently, sixth graders struggling with coursework and high school students off track for graduation. Equally important, it affects personal and emotional development and makes it hard to gain the habit of showing up, which is crucial to success in the workplace. If your child is struggling with attendance, please reach out to your school's administrative team, guidance counselor, or the county attendance director and student support team. https://www.attendanceworks.org/resources/messaging/teens-and-their-families/
