Did you know chronic absence in early grades is a strong predictor of reading delays by 3rd grade? Attendance habits start early and matter more than many realize. Whether it's a sick day or a tough morning, every day missed is a learning opportunity lost. Let’s work together to make Every Day Count. Help your child build healthy routines and stay engaged all year long!
Missing just 2 days a month can add up to a month of lost learning by the end of the year. Regular attendance is key to staying on track academically, socially, and emotionally.
Students who attend school 90% of the time or more are more likely to:
Score higher on tests
Stay on track to graduate
Build stronger friendships
When students are present consistently, they’re:
More likely to meet grade-level benchmarks
Less likely to need remediation
More connected to school culture
Even one or two days a month can affect performance. You can help this effort by incorporating positive attendance messaging to your children and celebrating milestones throughout the year.
Let’s show up, level up, and make Every Day Count!
