Attendance Management Plan

Regular school attendance is strongly linked to academic success. Missing school, even for a few days, can negatively impact a student's ability to keep up with coursework, understand concepts, and perform well on assessments. Consistent attendance builds a solid foundation for learning, fosters social and emotional development, friendships, a sense of belonging, and provides opportunities for meaningful teacher-student interactions. 

If a student misses one day of school every two weeks, they miss more than a whole year of school by 16 years of age. Parents and caregivers play a key role in building strong habits of regular school attendance.
