T.H.E. Trail Guide

Good attendance is important in all grade levels, from Pre-K through 12th grade. Students who attend regularly are much more likely to be at or above grade-level standards. Poor attendance at any grade increases the likelihood of falling behind academically. Students who miss 10% or more of the school year are defined as being chronically absent. Students who are chronically absent have a greater risk of falling behind one or more grade levels. A student can be chronically absent by missing two or more days a month. New state laws regarding attendance now require schools to address both excused and unexcused absences.

Plan for good attendance by helping your child to stay healthy. Children who get plenty of sleep, eat a balanced, nutritious diet, wash their hands regularly, and are up to date on their immunizations miss less school. Work with doctors to schedule appointments outside of school hours or on non-school days. Make a back-up plan with friends and relatives to help get your child to school if an unplanned situation arises. If there are other barriers causing your child to miss school, please reach out to your school to schedule a meeting to discuss.
