Regular attendance builds important habits and supports student success from day one.

By working together, families and schools can create a strong foundation for every student's journey.

Celebrating Our Success
  • From the 2021-2022 to the 2024-2025 school year, the average student attendance rate increased by 4.29%
  • From the 2021-2022 to the 2024-2025 school year, the student persistent absenteeism rate decreased by 17.94%
These figures demonstrate the impact of the collaboration between families, students and schools and are reflected in student achievement and well-being. 

How Families Can Help
  • Maintain regular bedtimes and morning routines.  Consistency makes it easier for students to start their day, no matter their age. 
  • Keep track of attendance. Two missed days per month add up to 10% of the school year. 
  • Have a “just in case” plan if something pops up: talk to neighbours, friends, or other parents you trust.
  • If your child is apprehensive about going to school, speak with the teacher. We’re here to help your child feel safe and excited to learn.
  • When illness keeps your child home, ask teachers for ways to keep learning moving such online tools, suggested activities, and more.

  • Ongoing engagement with families.
  • Individual supports empowering each child to thrive.
