Attendance Awareness Month: September 

02:20 AM | -
ATTENDANCE AWARENESS MONTH: HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSISTENT SCHOOL ATTENDANCE Every September, the United States observes Attendance Awareness Month, an initiative emphasizing regular school attendance's critical role in a child's education and overall development. Attendance Works, a national organization dedicated to improving school attendance policies and practices, leads this month-long campaign. THE HISTORY OF ATTENDANCE AWARENESS MONTH Attendance Awareness Month was launched in 2013 by Attendance Works and a coalition of education and community organizations. The initiative draws attention to the alarming rates of chronic absenteeism in schools and mobilizes schools, families, and communities to take action. Since its inception, the campaign has grown, involving thousands of schools and community groups nationwide to promote the importance of daily attendance. TOP FIVE REASONS CHILDREN MISS SCHOOL IN THE UNITED STATES Illness—Physical health issues, including chronic conditions like asthma or short-term illnesses such as colds and flu, are leading causes of absenteeism. Family Issues—Unstable housing, domestic violence, and other family challenges can lead to children missing school. Mental Health—Anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues can prevent students from attending school regularly. Transportation Problems—Lack of reliable transportation can hinder students' ability to get to school consistently. Bullying—Fear of bullying or feeling unsafe at school can cause students to avoid attending. THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOL ATTENDANCE Regular school attendance is crucial for academic success and social development. Students who attend school consistently are likelier to achieve higher grades, develop critical thinking skills, and build strong relationships with peers and teachers. Chronic absenteeism, defined as missing 10% or more of the school year, can lead to significant learning gaps, increased dropout rates, and long-term negative impacts on a student's future opportunities. HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN ATTENDANCE AWARENESS MONTH Raise Awareness—Share information about the importance of school attendance on social media, in community newsletters, and at local events. Engage Families—Schools and community organizations can host workshops and provide resources to help families understand the importance of attendance and how to address barriers. Recognize Good Attendance—Implement reward systems and recognition programs for students with good attendance records. Support Students—Provide resources such as tutoring, counseling, and health services to help address issues that may cause absenteeism. Advocate for Policy Changes—Support policies that promote school attendance, such as improved transportation options, mental health resources, and family support services. CONSEQUENCES OF MISSING TOO MUCH SCHOOL When a child misses too much school, it can have severe consequences. Chronic absenteeism can lead to academic struggles, including lower test scores and an increased likelihood of repeating a grade. Socially, students may feel disconnected from their peers and teachers, leading to isolation and increased risk of dropping out. Long-term, poor attendance can affect a student's ability to graduate and pursue higher education or employment opportunities. Attendance Awareness Month is a critical reminder of keeping students engaged and present in the classroom. By addressing the root causes of absenteeism and promoting a culture of attendance, communities can help ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed academically and personally.
