Attendance Matters
Attending school regularly is essential to students gaining the academic, social and emotional skills they need to thrive. Chronic absence, no matter its cause, has real life consequences for students, families and society as a whole. Research shows starting as early as preschool and kindergarten, chronic absence—missing 10% of the academic year—can leave third graders unable to read proficiently, sixth graders struggling with coursework and high school students off track for graduation.
OPA is focused on improving overall attendance and continuing to provide quality education and success to our amazing students. Below you will find information about chronic absenteeism and how we can work together to improve school attendance.
