Attendance

This is Simone. She has 90% attendance. Is that good? What does this mean?

Simone thinks this is pretty good, so do her parents. Are they right? 90% attendance = ½ day missed every week!! Mon Tue Wed Thur Fri ? Absent half a day every week

Lets looks a little closer….. 1 school year at 90% attendance = 4 whole weeks of lessons MISSED!!! 38 school weeks Sept July ? Absent for 4 weeks

90% attendance over 5 years = ½ a school year missed!

What about being on time? If you’re 5 minutes late each morning and 5 minutes late each afternoon, you’ve missed nearly an hour in one week Or half a day in a half term Or a full day each term So being on time counts too!!
