Attendance


5 reasons to be on time to school:

1 Being late is a bad habit. It is best to train yourself to be on time now. The older you get, the earlier you have to get up, and the more important it will be that you're on time. (In high school, you can lose credit and have to repeat the class)
2 Absences and tardies are recorded on your permanent record. These records are viewed by private schools and colleges and can affect whether or not you get accepted.
3 Those who are chronically tardy may be seen as irresponsible and develop bad reputations.
4 You may miss valuable instruction and announcements and always feel as if your are "out of the loop". Believe it or not, students who miss only 10 minutes a day will miss almost 30 hours of instruction a year!
5 Research actually shows that students who are absent more often score lower on state tests.
