School attendance isn’t just about being in the classroom today, it’s about greater opportunities tomorrow. Research indicates that students who attend school regularly are more likely to graduate and pursue postsecondary education or careers.
Regular attendance helps students build habits like reliability, resilience, and responsibility that matter long after school ends.
Vermont law requires children ages 6–16 to attend school for the full number of school days offered each year, with limited exceptions, to ensure students benefit fully from their education.
