Please let your child's teacher know the number of people attending or send back the RSVP form by tomorrow!
A 90% in class sounds like an "A," but when it comes to attendance, it tells a different story!
A 90% attendance rate means missing about 18 days—roughly a whole month—of valuable classroom instruction during the school year. In North Carolina, missing 10% or more of the days enrolled (whether excused or unexcused) is considered chronic absenteeism.
Every day counts! Be here. Be engaged. Be successful.
