Attendance Categories

CHRONIC ABSENCES

18 or More Days

  • Excused and unexcused absences represent lost time in the classroom and lost opportunities to learn
  • Missing just one day every two weeks can add up to 18 days in a year. Absences add up before you know it!
WARNING

10 To 17 Days

  • Students who are absent an average of 15 days a year miss a year’s worth of school before their senior year.
  • When students miss a day of school it actually puts them two days behind their classmates.
GOOD ATTENDANCE

9 or Fewer Absences

  • Students with good attendance generally achieve higher grades and enjoy school more.
  • Children benefit and make the most of their educational opportunities if they attend school regularly and on time.

Helpful Tips

If the student has a morning appointment, bring them to school after the appointment. If they have an afternoon appointment, pick them up from school before the appointment.
