Parents, attending school every day is important for all students.  Students with consistent daily attendance earn higher grades, are more involved with school activities, tend to have fewer discipline problems, and are better prepared for the future and job opportunities. 

When a student misses class, the whole class is impacted.  In fact, the entire school suffers because each day that a student misses, the school loses approximately $29.78 in funding per absence.  Last year, the schools earned an additional $840,000 because there were fewer student absences than the year before.  That is approaching one million dollars in additional revenue because students did not stay home but came to school one additional day.
