Attendance Awareness Month

Parents and educators have a key role in our children’s success, and it all starts
with teaching, building and supporting good life habits. Good habits:
• Start early and last a lifetime
• Become second nature through regular practice
• Are a part of the learning process
• Makes us more productive and effective
• Are the basis to success
• Are powerful
One of the most important life habits we can instill in our students is
attendance, or “showing up.”
Showing up is more than just attending school; it is a commitment, and it
represents responsibility. It’s showing up to school as well as being present and
engaged.
Like you, we care about your children’s education and about their future. You
have big dreams for your child and we share those dreams. Here’s why
attendance is so important for success:
• Attendance is the number one predictor of dropout and
graduation rates
• Attendance and GPA are the biggest indicators and
influences of college and career readiness
• More than half of future dropouts can be predicted by sixth
grade, based on attendance and failure in English and math
• Students who miss 10 or more days of school are 20 percent
less likely to graduate from high school
• Students who miss school at an early age are more likely to
struggle academically and, in later years, to drop out entirely
• Students who miss 10 or more days of school are 25 percent
less likely to enroll in college
September is Attendance Awareness Month,
but our attendance awareness can’t stop at the
end of September. Students need to attend school
all day, every day to succeed.
Help your child succeed in school and in life—
together, let’s build the habit of showing up!
