Attendance Matters!

We Want Every Child to Succeed!

Kent School District children need to be at school:

On Time All Day Every Day (If they are healthy enough to attend )

For each day a student is absent it takes an average of 3 days to catch up.

Missing 3 or more days of school per month can set a student back from 1 to 2 full years

of learning! STUDENTS WHO MAINTAIN GOOD ATTENDANCE THROUGH ALL YEARS OF SCHOOL:

Achieve grade level standard at a higher rate. Graduate from high school at a higher rate. Develop good habits that contribute to success in school and in future careers

The PAWS Trait for September is: Practice your personal best!
