Attendance Matters!

What happens when a student misses school?

• Missing school significantly and negatively impacts academic achievement. As much as half of the student body misses 10 or more days of school each year.

• Data shows that missing 10 or more days of school will:

– reduce reading scores by 12 points

– reduce math scores by 15 points

– reduce a student’s chances of remaining on track to graduation by 34 percent

Did you know?• As early as kindergarten, excessive absence can cause children to fall behind.

• Early absences lead to difficulties and poor attendance in later years.

• One in 10 kindergarten and first-grade students nationally is chronically absent, missing a month of school.

What you can do as a parent or caregiver to

encourage your child

• Ask your child if he or she is learning every day and if they feel safe in school. If your child is having negative experiences, call or visit your school to address the issues with educators.

• Monitor your child’s academic progress and seek help from educators or tutors if necessary.

• Make sure your contact information is up-to-date with your school.

• Talk with your child about the importance of getting to school every day and make it the expectation.

• Help your child maintain daily routines.

• Sign the Family Attendance Pledge.
