Going to School Everyday is the First Step to Student Success.
Excellent attendance is a crucial requirement for doing well in school--and life! Common sense indicates that a student may be absent for illness, emergencies, or for religious observance, but the goal is for every student to be in school every day. Families are advised to schedule trips and vacations when school is not in sessionto minimize interruption in schoolwork that may impact academic progress. Did you know: 90% attendance is a component of the New York City Department of Education Promotional Policy. A student who has 90% attendance is missing one month of instruction. A student with less than 90% attendance is considered chronically absent *. Students with poor attendance in Pre-K, Kindergarten, and First Grade are much less likely to read at grade level, and are more likely to drop out of school later in life. We will be offering Dojo Points for classes who have 100% attendance each day.
