If your child is ill, especially with possible Covid-like symptoms, he or she must stay home, but absences for other things in middle school affect not just one class, but 7 classes for each day missed.

Students are at risk academically if they miss 10 percent of the school year, or about 18 days. Once too many absences have occurred, they can affect learning, regardless of whether absences are excused or unexcused.

Chronic absence, missing 10 percent of the school year or more, does not just affect the students who miss school. If too many students are chronically absent, it slows down instruction for other students, who must wait while the teacher repeats material for absentee students. This makes it harder for students to learn and teachers to teach.

Sporadic, not just consecutive, absences matter. Before you know it – just one or two days a month can add up to nearly 10 percent of the school year.

By middle and high school, chronic absence is a leading warning sign that a student will drop out.
