Every Day Counts
Each day counts when it comes to learning, achievement, building relationships, and staying connected at school. While we don't want students to come to school when they are sick, regular attendance on healthy days is important.
Under Maryland State Department of Education's definition, a student is considered chronically absent when they miss 10% or more of the school days in which they are enrolled, whether absences are excused or unexcused. This means students can become chronically absent at any point during the school year if absences begin to add up. Let's work together to make every day count. When students are healthy and ready to learn, being present at school helps them to achieve.
Wellness Matters at CHS
At Calvert High, we recognize that wellness is an important part of student success. Taking time to rest, recharge, and care for their well-being can help reduce stress, improve focus, and support academic performance. We encourage students to use scheduled days when school is closed and the extra time provided after 2-Hour Early Dismissal days to rest, recharge and/or engage in activities that support well-being.
Using the built-in breaks during the school year for wellness can help students return refreshed and ready to learn while also supporting strong attendance on instructional days. Balancing wellness with regular attendance can help students can stay engaged at school, make the most of their learning opportunities, and thrive both inside and out of the classroom.
