Did You Know?
- Research shows that children who are in school most of the time do better on state tests. Studies also show that kids who are absent more often score lower on state tests.
- Being late for school hurts a child's learning, too. A student who is 10 minutes late every day will miss 30 hours of instruction during the year.
