The impact is twice as great for students from low-income families.<\/li>\n<li>A Baltimore study found a strong relationship between sixth-grade attendance and the percentage of students graduating on time or within a year of their expected high school graduation.<\/li>\n<li>Chronic absenteeism increases achievement gaps at the elementary, middle and high school levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We are very sympathetic to the fact that sometimes, students need to be absent because of illness or other situations. Here are some ways that parents can help reduce the number of absences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Family vacations should not be scheduled during a time when school is in session.<\/li>\n<li>The final minutes of the school day are crucial for students. Please do not sign your student out early.<\/li>\n<li>The best gift you can give your child is a good education. And the best place to get that education is in school. Every day. On time.<\/li>\n<li>Building a habit of good attendance is your child\u2019s ticket to success in school and eventually on the job.<\/li>\n<li>Every year, absences spike in the days before a holiday or school break. It\u2019s time to break that cycle.<\/li>\n<li>We know it\u2019s tempting to extend your vacation by a few days on either side of a holiday. Please have your student in school!<\/li>\n<li>Just a few missed days here and there, even if they\u2019re excused absences, can add up to too much lost learning time and put your child behind in school. This is as true in kindergarten as it is in high school.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please make sure your student is in school every day, right up until vacation starts. Our teachers will be teaching, and our students will be learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are in the midst of our best weather of the year and summer vacation is just around the corner.
