Students and schools thrive when students attend every day, and both students and parents are actively engaged. Here are the top 3 reasons your attendance and participation matter.

• Regular school attendance has been linked to increased academic success, better social skills, and on-time graduation for students. When you miss school, you miss important opportunities to gain knowledge, build skills, and develop important relationships that contribute to your success.
• School helps you build important skills for life. Attending school on time and regularly are important traits that help students prepare for future careers and the world of work. Additionally, students can learn the importance of teamwork by working with classmates on projects and assignments. Working with others to achieve a successful outcome helps build a positive school environment and is a skill employers desire.
• Attending school regularly provides social engagement opportunities. Through service-learning opportunities, participation in school-based organizations, pep rallies, and more, attending school regularly offers students the opportunity to learn from one another and share important experiences.

If your child has to miss school, be sure to submit an excuse via PowerSchool Parent Portal (see above QR code), to the Information Specialist or to your child’s teacher(s) as soon as your student returns.
