Attendance Matters Campaign DID YOU KNOW? • Absences can be a sign that a teen is losing interest, struggling with school work, dealing with a bully or facing some other difficulty. • By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school. • Missing 10% (just 2 days each month) can drastically affect a student's academic success. • Attendance is an important life skill that will help your teen keep a job and graduate from college.

Attendance Matters Campaign Make School Attendance a Priority: • Talk about the importance of showing up to school every day so your teen knows this is your expectation. • Encourage your student to maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework or getting a good night's sleep. • Avoid scheduling non-urgent dental and medical appointments when classes are in session.
Attendance Matters Campaign WHAT YOU CAN DO: Communicate with the School • Contact your student's teachers and let them know how to reach you. • Request a schedule of classes and log in information for your student. • Ask for help from school officials, after-school program providers, other parents or community agencies if you're having trouble getting online or need help or support with anything. • Know the school's attendance policy and the consequences for absences. • Check on your student's attendance to make sure they are attending all of their classes. • Consider asking the school for a change to in-person learning if virtual learning doesn't engage your student.
