Daily school attendance is so important to your child's success, in the classroom and in life. The research is clear: School attendance and student achievement go hand-in-hand!
Students who attend school regularly are able to learn more, have fewer discipline problems, develop better study habits, and often are more successful than students who do not.
Ware County Schools recognizes that good attendance is essential to academic success. Good attendance includes arriving to school on time and being prepared to learn. Too many students are at risk academically because they miss too much school. When students are absent, they miss valuable educational experiences and opportunities.
Chronic absence is described as missing 10 percent of the school year — or 18 days — for any reason, excused or unexcused. That’s the point at which absenteeism begins to affect student performance, research shows.
We want our students to be successful, and that starts with good attendance! Help your child prioritize school attendance this year. Thank you!
