Attendance Matters!
A California study found that children who were chronically absent in kindergarten and 1st grade were far less likely to read proficiently at the end of 3rd grade. And further research shows that students who are reading proficiently by the end of 3rd grade are more likely to graduate. Let's get our students to school every day, ready to learn and succeed! Chronic attendance is defined as a student who averages two absences a month. Students who report to school every day of the week on time will be entered into a raffle as we want to recognize when students meet school expectations.
