NCCDI Spotlight On...Attendance!
Why does attendance matter for young students?
Absenteeism starts early. One in 10 kindergarten and first grade students nationwide misses 10% of the school year in excused and unexcused absences.
Early attendance can predict attendance in later years. Chronic absence in preschool and kindergarten can predict who will miss too much school later. A national study of kindergarten students found that those who attended regularly were more likely to develop the social-emotional skills that helped them persevere in school.
Early attendance can help children learn to read and succeed in school. Literacy instruction is front-loaded in eh early grades, so if children miss too much school, they lag behind classmates in reading.
Children from low-income families are more likely to be chronically absent and more likely to be affected by the lost instructional time.
Given the challenges that poverty can created for getting to school, low income children are four times more likely to be chronically absent.
