I’m sure that all of us are aware that school attendance is important.
“Being there” is half the battle with any task we undertake. What many don’t realize is how critical attendance is to the learning process.

Even students who struggle with learning will perform better and make significant gains as attendance improves. Regular attendance facilitates learning social skills from interacting with peers on a daily basis.
