6. Attendance Achievement Opportunity Exposure to the English Language
One of the most important things your child can do to achieve academic success is going to school every day.
Achievement
Opportunity
Exposure to the English Language
Being part of the school community
The importance of education
Achievement: students who attend school regularly are more likely to pass assessments
Opportunity: Being in school every day gives students a chance to learn more about college and scholarship opportunities, and to take important exams they need to build a successful academic record.
Exposure to the English Language: Regular school attendance can also help students who are learning English by giving them a chance to master the skills and information they need in all subjects.
Being part of the school community: Just by being present at school, your child is learning how to be a good citizen by participating in the school community, learning valuable social skills, and developing a broader world view.
The importance of education: Your commitment to school attendance will also send a message to your child that education is a priority for your family, going to school every day is critical part of educational success, and that it’s important to take responsibilities seriously.

7. Tips from the Attendance Team
