Nothing fuels learning like school meals!
School Attendance, Truancy & Chronic Absenteeism: What Parents Need to Know
Click here to insert a picture from SharePoint.
How many days has your child been absent from school over the past 4 weeks? Was it just one sick day or two? What about the day they left early for the dentist? Or the days you took off to extend a vacation? It's hard to always keep track.
Missing a day here or there may not seem like a problem. But absences add up quickly. And these missed school days can have a big impact on your child's learning and overall health.
ATTENDANCE MATTERS.
Missing two days a month—excused or unexcused—can add up to a child being considered chronically absent.
That's why the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) encourages families to reduce unnecessary absences, learn about attendance policies where they live and prioritize getting their kids to school on time, every day (find 10 tips that can help, below).
