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 – 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.
