Shelton Elementary School

Yes, school attendance matters for several reasons.

Education: Attending school regularly is essential for acquiring knowledge and skills. It provides students with access to a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a conducive learning environment.

Academic Success: Consistent attendance is strongly correlated with academic success. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to achieve better grades, perform well on standardized tests, and graduate on time.

Social Development: School is not just about academics; it's also a place where students interact with peers, develop social skills, and learn important life lessons. Regular attendance helps students build friendships and develop emotional intelligence.

It's important for parents, guardians, educators, and policymakers to recognize the significance of school attendance and work together to ensure that all children have access to quality education and the support they need to attend school regularly.
