​It’s never too early to start good school attendance habits!
Preschool is a great time to start building a habit of good attendance. Young children with poGood Attendanceor attendance in preschool also lose out on valuable learning time and if chronic absence continues into kindergarten, it can pull down academic achievement. Attendance matters as early as kindergarten. Studies show many children who miss too many days in kindergarten and first grade can struggle academically in later years. They often have trouble mastering reading by the end of third grade. Please make sure your child attends school each day!
