Every Day Matters
Why Attendance

Consistent student attendance is one of the most important factors in academic success. When students are in class regularly, they build strong relationships, stay engaged in their learning, and don’t miss critical instruction. Even just a few absences can add up and create gaps in understanding that make it harder to keep up. Showing up each day helps students build good habits, stay on track, and reach their full potential both in school and beyond.
