Students need to attend school daily to succeed. Research shows that missing 10% of the school year, or 18 days in most districts correlates with academic trouble. To put that in perspective, three days a month over nine months means that a student is missing five weeks of school a year. The good news is that chronic absence can be significantly reduced when schools and communities work together to build a culture of attendance and help families overcome barriers to getting children to school. School started today in the Banning Unified School District and it is not too early for parents to begin thinking about how they can make sure that poor attendance will not affect their child’s ability to succeed academically. Attendance matters! Not only is daily attendance important to the academic success of our students, it is also important to the financial success of our district. Make every day count!!!
