Attendance Myths
Myth #1: Kindergarten attendance is not important
Chronic Absence in the early grades and beyond can affect all students when teachers
must spend time reviewing concepts for children who missed the original lesson
Only 17% of students who are chronically absent in Kindergarten and 1 st grade read
profieciently by 3rd grade.
Myth #2: Attendance does not matter until middle or high school
1 in 10 kindergarteners and 1st graders misses a month of school each year.
It is important to address the problem in the early grades before a student falls behind
academically. The goal is to develop good habits from the beginning.
You may have heard the term Truancy in the past. This is
different than Chronic Absenteeism
Truancy: The action of staying away from school without good
reason.
This would describe a student who is absent when the parent
does not call the school to let the school know
why their student is absent. (UNEXCUSED ABSENCES)
