Attendance matters!

It stands to reason that regular attendance in school is the first and most fundamental element in the process of teaching and learning.  Students aren’t learning when they’re not in school, and chronic absenteeism can set students far behind their peers – often leading to poor performance, retention in grade, or dropping out of school.
