Attendance effects on learning
DID YOU KNOW…?
Absences add up!
- Every 2 days of school missed is equal to 1% of the school year.
- A week (5 days) of absences is equal to almost 3% of the school year.
- If a student misses 20 days, that is the equivalent of just over a month of school!
- 37 days absent is equal to 2 months of missed school, and almost a quarter of a school year!
With that perspective, it is easy to see how gaps can form!
