Attend Today, Succeed Forever

 

A banner image for the Attend Today Succeed Forever initiative. When it comes to school attendance, 90% is not an A. We all can help students be on time, at school, every day. To the right is the Attend Today Succeed Forever logo.

 

 

An infographic titled "What a Percentage Means," designed to show how attendance percentages translate into missed school days over a year. The chart uses a vertical stack of color-coded blocks, ranging from green (top) to red (bottom).  The data is organized as follows:  100% (Bright Green): Labeled as Perfection.  98% (Green): Equates to 4 school days missed; labeled as Impressive.  96% (Dark Green): Equates to 7 school days missed; labeled as Good.  95% (Yellow/Orange): Equates to 9 school days missed; labeled as Nearly There.  94% (Orange): Equates to 11 school days missed; labeled as Needs to Improve.  90% (Red): Equates to 17 school days missed; labeled as Concerns.  At the bottom, a caption reads: "When it comes to attendance, 90% is not an A. ATTEND DAILY. ON TIME. ALL DAY." A small logo for "Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow" is in the bottom right corner.

 

When it comes to attendance, 90% is not an A. 

When you do the math, 90% attendance is 20 school days missed. That’s 20 days of critically important lessons, support from teachers and memories with classmates.

And days add up -- students who are chronically absent are more likely to be suspended, struggle with learning and not graduate from high school. And tardiness counts, too. Those 5-10 minutes late each day adds up to almost 4 days per school year.

If you need support getting your child to school, we’re here to help. Make it a goal for your child to Attend Daily. On Time. All Day.

 

Attend daily, on time, all day.

Every minute missed is a missed opportunity for students to learn, grow and achieve.

Make it a priority for students to be at school, on time, every day. Even one missed day a month can knock students off track.

Families should aim for 95% attendance or more for their child. That’s 9 missed days a year, or no more than one day a month. Any more can knock students off track and keep them from reaching their full potential.
