Attendance Matters!
DID YOU KNOW?
- Starting in preschool and kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school. Missing 10%, or about 2 days each month over the course of a school year, can make it harder to learn to read.
- Students can still fall behind if they miss just 1 or 2 days every few weeks.
- Being late to school may lead to poor attendance.
- Absences and tardiness can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help children catch up.
- Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves.
- Start building this habit in preschool so they learn right away that going to school on time every day is important.
- Eventually, good attendance will be a skill that will help them succeed in high school and college.
