To KNOW Tuesday:
• Students should miss no more than 9 days of school each year to stay engaged, successful and on track to graduation.
• Frequent absences can be a sign that a student is losing interest in school, struggling with school work, dealing with a
bully or facing some other difficulty.
• By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school.
• By 9th grade, attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores.
• Missing 10%, or 2 days a month, over the course of the school year, can affect a student’s academic success.
Empower, Engage, Excell

Parents, guardians, and family members we need your help in making sure your students are attending school every day. Chronic absenteeism takes away your child's opportunity to experience academic success. Monday, January 23, 2023, will start the 2nd semester of the 2022-2023 school year.
