As we are preparing to begin another school year, here is a reminder that attending school is vital to academic and career success. It is important that children attend school. When kids miss school, they fall behind and sometimes it is hard to catch up. Missing school may not seem like a big deal but absences can have negative implications.
Here are some reasons why school attendance is important. Children with good attendance are:
-More likely to do well in school
-More likely to develop good study skills and social skills
-More likely to do well on standardized tests
-More likely to graduate high school
-More likely to attend college
-More likely to land a good job
-More likely to stay away from drugs and alcohol
