All Day, Every Day
Starting as early as preschool and kindergarten, regular attendance is essential for students gaining the academic and social skills they need to thrive. Research shows that when students are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of the school year or 18 days over an entire year), they are less likely to read proficiently by third grade, achieve in middle school, and graduate from high school.

We all benefit when children have the opportunity to gain skills and abilities that prepare them for success in school, work, and life. The good news is that efforts to improve engagement and attendance can benefit all of us, because we all prosper when children and youth have the opportunity to gain skills and abilities that prepare them for success in school, work and life.
How can we help?
