Maysville R-1 students are in session for a total of 150 school days per school year.

Our district goal is to have every student in attendance at least 95% of the time.
This would mean all students are in attendance for at least 142.5 days, allowing for 7.5 days of absences for the school year, or roughly 3-4 days per semester.

90% attendance of 150 days is 135 days. Being absent 10% of those 150 days is equal to 15 days of absences, or roughly 7-8 per semester.

Missing that many days of school in a single school year can be damaging to students and their academic growth, social emotional development, and behavior. See the image below for more information on how absences can really add up, and not in a good way!

Remember, we want to see Every Wolverine, Every Day! 💖

As we prepare for parent/teacher conferences, I want to take a moment to thank our families for your continued support and partnership in your child's education!

Parent/teacher conferences are a wonderful opportunity to celebrate student growth, discuss progress, and work together to help every child succeed. We believe that strong relationships between home and school make a tremendous difference in student learning.

I also want to recognize our amazing teachers for the time, preparation, and dedication they put into making these conversations meaningful. They truly care about each student's success!

Thank you, parents, for being such an important part of our school community. We look forward to celebrating all the wonderful things our students are accomplishing and continuing to work together to help them grow

Together, we make a difference! ❤️🖤
