Did you know that even at the preschool and kindergarten level, absenteeism can affect your student’s learning experience? Chronic absence means that the student misses at least 10% of the school year, or two days per month. It is an indicator that the child is off track for learning. This is the problem: students chronically absent from preschool and kindergarten are much less likely to read and count proficiently by the end of third grade. That is why instilling a sense of responsibility and interest in going to class every day from an early age will benefit your student for life!
