Regularly missing school impacts students in numerous ways. Chronic absenteeism not only hurts high school students in the classroom, but creates poor attendance habits that carry over to college and the workforce. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.

Building good attendance habits early is key to staying on track throughout school. By middle school, absenteeism becomes a leading indicator of graduation. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.

Build the habit of good attendance early. Starting in kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.

Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. By building this habit early, students learn right away that going to school every day is important, helping them succeed in high school and beyond. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.

Students can still fall behind if they miss just a day or two every few weeks. Missing 10%, or about 18 days, increases the chance that your student will not read or master math at the same level as their peers. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.

Students are considered chronically absent when they miss 10% or more of the school year. This includes both excused and unexcused absences. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.

🍽️ Students in Mrs. Sandusky's English class had a delightful experience sampling a variety of books in the library! They rotated between stations, exploring different genres and discovering new favorites. Today's special? A "menu" full of exciting book genres! We encourage everyone to expand their literary palate by trying something new with their next book choice. Dive into a new genre and see where it takes you! 📖✨ #morencibulldogs

Chronic absenteeism has risen to a concerning level, both in Lenawee County and across the state, in the years following the pandemic. Nearly 1 in 3 Lenawee students were chronically absent during the 2022-2023 school year. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.

September is Attendance Awareness Month, a nationwide effort to recognize the connection between regular school attendance and academic achievement. Join us in making regular attendance a priority this school year! To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
