Did you know attendance matters?

📌 What is Chronic Absenteeism?
Did you know that missing just 2 days of school a month can add up to being considered chronically absent? KSDE defines Chronic Absenteeism as missing 10% or more of the school year—whether absences are excused or unexcused.

Why it matters:
✅ Students fall behind in reading & math
✅ Harder to stay connected with classmates
✅ School habits built now last a lifetime
