Attendance Counts Every Day, Everyone Students! Think one day out from school isn’t a big deal? If you miss 10 % of school days, you’ll suffer academically. That can be just one day every two weeks, and can it happen before you know it. These absences may be either excused or unexcused, but you’re still losing time in class and opportunities to learn. Every day you’re absent, it lowers your chance of graduating from high school. Remember. Attendance Counts Every Day, Everyone

Attendance counts. EVERYONE. EVERYDAY. Attendance – Did you know? A student who is chronically absent in high school is 7.4X more likely to drop out! Attendance counts. EVERYONE. EVERYDAY.

5 Scary Things About School Dropouts! 1. 7,000 students drop out of school every single day. That’s more than 1 million yearly. 2. School dropouts are qualified for only about 10% of all jobs. 3. School dropouts cost the economy more than 150 billion dollars. This unfathomable hit comes from school dropouts’ lost wages, taxes and productivity over a lifetime. 4. A whopping 87% of school dropouts have experienced homelessness at some point of their lives. 5. 79 percent of school dropouts have a parent who has been incarcerated at some time during the school dropouts’ lives.
