Being at school every day matters because learning builds day by day. Research consistently shows that regular attendance is one of the strongest predictors of academic achievement. Students who are present more often perform better on assessments and are more likely to graduate.
Absences disrupt learning continuity and make it harder for students to keep up with grade‑level work. Even a few missed days can widen gaps in understanding, especially for students already facing learning challenges.
Together with families, we can keep students engaged and progressing through each school day.
