Attendance
Prioritizing the success and well-being of our students is at the heart of our mission. Maintaining regular attendance is a vital element in their educational journey, and it brings us great pleasure to introduce our team of dedicated Social Workers.

Consistent attendance remains a crucial factor in academic success, and we express our sincere appreciation for your collaboration in instilling a commitment to learning.

Attendance Matters
The impact of consistent school attendance is often underestimated. Missing just one day every two weeks may seem inconsequential, but over 13 years of schooling, it accumulates to nearly 1 1/2 years of missed education. Similarly, being 10 minutes late every day might appear insignificant, yet it translates to nearly 1/2 a year of missed schooling over the same period. These seemingly small increments can significantly hinder a child's educational progress and contribute to substantial gaps in their learning. It highlights the importance of recognizing the cumulative effect of sporadic attendance or tardiness over the course of a child's educational journey.
