Attention all State Street High School students! Today, September 28, is the big day! It's Picture Day! We know you're excited!
📚👩🎓👨🎓🏫💼 Did you know that patterns of absenteeism often start in elementary school? Research shows that 11% of elementary students miss 18 or more days, with one in ten kindergarten and first grade students missing a month of school each year due to absences. This can have a significant impact on a child's education. 83% of students who are chronically absent in kindergarten and first grade cannot read on-level by third grade, and these students are 4x more likely to drop out.

It's important to understand that chronic poor attendance in kindergarten and first grade is one of the best predictors of which students will eventually drop out of school. Missing just two days a month adds up to chronic absence. On the other hand, students who come to school regularly have far better options and opportunities open to them. Regular school attendance is linked to building trusting relationships, a healthier lifestyle, less risky teen behaviors, better time management, improved mental health, better social capital, and greater economic opportunities.
So let's encourage our young students to attend school regularly and make the most out of their educational opportunities! 🚀👨🎓👩🎓📚
