    Keep Your Child On Track: Pay Attention to Attendance
    Showing up for school has a huge impact on a student’s academic success. Even as children grow older and more independent, families play a key role in making sure students get to school every day and understand why attendance is so important for success in school and on the job.
     
    Here Today, Ready for Tomorrow! We are encouraging everyone to share the good news about regular school attendance during Attendance Awareness Month this September.
     
    Attendance Awareness Month is observed every September, and it is a national campaign led by Attendance Works and partners to highlight the importance of regular school attendance for academic success and well-being. The campaign aims to educate the community on the risks of chronic absenteeism, where missing 10% or more of school days can lead to falling behind in learning, and encourages families to prioritize attendance, especially for young students.
     
    DID YOU KNOW?
    •Students should miss no more than 9 days of school each year to stay engaged, successful, and on track to graduation.
    • Missing 10%, or 2 days a month, over the course of the school year, can affect a student’s academic success.
