Why does good school attendance matter? • Students are not able learn required subjects when they are absent from school. They miss critical instruction for understanding key concepts and fall behind quickly in completing assignments. Good school attendance usually correlates positively to good academic achievement. • Students who are truant from school often drop out of school later. Dropping out limits students' future alternatives, both in getting a higher education and getting a job. • Coming to school every day, being on time, and completing daily school assignments are all job-related skills. Students who learn to be regular in their school attendance and complete their schoolwork on time are more prepared to be regular in their work attendance and more able to complete their work duties as adults. • Visit SPS Truancy page to learn more: • http://www.seattleschools.org/modules... • This version of the HSGI videos has only student interviews. • preview size April 24, 2013 • Produced at Seattle Public Schools, Media Operations Center
