👉High schoolers missing 2+ days a month risk lower grades, poor engagement, and not graduating. Chronic absenteeism affects 1 in 4 teens and peaks in 9th and 12th grades. Attendance builds future success—college, jobs, and confidence.
Every day in school matters.
Show up!
Stay on track!
Graduate strong!

Monday's special guest speaker, George McKenzie, Jr, was THE most INSIGHTFUL & INTERESTING presentation we've ever had‼️ His journey by Amtrak train from Brooklyn to Highlands County was fascinating. A Live Wildly Adventurist & Nat Geo Explorer, he didn't have a traditional, easy path to his current career. We are better people after his intriguing presentation. Thank you Mr. McKenzie for investing your time in our students.

Attendance matters! Missing just 2 days a month (18 days/year) can hurt academic success. Chronic absence—excused or unexcused—is a strong warning sign for falling behind or dropping out.
Every day counts!

Illustration with students and school icons emphasizes attendance. Text explains chronic absenteeism as missing 10% of the school year, equal to 18 days, and its negative effect on academics. It stresses that missing school impacts students equally, whether absences are excused or unexcused.
DID YOU KNOW?
• Students should miss no more than 9 days of school each year to stay engaged, successful and on track to graduation.
• By 9th grade, attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores.
• Missing 10%, or 2 days a month, over the course of the school year, can affect a student’s academic success.
