Be Here!
Strong school attendance is critical to student success at all levels.
Showing up each day will help you:
- Make friends and learn together
- Develop healthy habits
- Graduate from high school
- Achieve your dreams!
While some absences may be unavoidable, limiting your child’s absences puts them on a path to future success.
o Strong Attendance is 95% or better (missing less than 8 days of school)
o Consistent Attendance is 90% - 94.9% (missing 9-13 days of school)
o Chronic Absenteeism is 80% - 89.9% (missing 14-25 days of school)
o Severe Absenteeism is less than 80% (missing 26 or more days of school)
As long as your student is healthy, please encourage showing up to class when school is in session. If you have questions about your student coming to school due to a health or mental health concern, please contact your school counselor or principal.
Additionally, the menu on the right includes links to resources that can help families succeed.
We hope that every student can Be Here!
