Adair Schools taking part in statewide High Attendance Day 'A child's attendance record is one of the strongest single predictors of academic success.' - BRENDA MANN By Brenda Mann, Assistant Adair County School Superintendent On Tuesday, September 18, 2012, the Adair County Schools will be joining with schools across the state in promoting "High Attendance Day" sponsored by the Kentucky Directors of Pupil Personnel. Students will be exerting their best efforts to be at school to emphasize the importance of school attendance and to compete for state recognition and rewards. We ask for the support of parents, students, educators and the community in promoting the importance of school attendance on this date and everyday. Attendance is the first step for students to learn and achieve at high levels. By attending class regularly, a student is more likely to keep up with daily lessons and assignments, and achieve academic performance benchmarks on time. An example of this is in math, where content knowledge is learned sequentially to gain mathematical understanding. When absences occur, a student misses some of this knowledge and may have difficulty fully understanding new concepts. Some students may be able to catch up, but others may fall behind because they have missed crucial steps in learning. A child's attendance record is one of the strongest single predictors of academic success. Students with irregular attendance often do not develop the responsibility, self-discipline and effective work skills that are essential for success in school and life. They tend to fall behind and are continuously struggling to catch up. This diminishes student confidence and attitude toward learning. School attendance is a both a parent and student responsibility. Parents can help by instilling the habit of attending school every day at an early age and by staying interested in what their child is doing in school from day one all the way through graduation. Parents should stay involved by monitoring their child's progress and grades, contacting teachers with questions or concerns, and attending school functions and meetings. For older students, being in school every day gives them a chance to learn more about college and other post-secondary opportunities, and to perform to their highest potential on important exams they need to build a successful academic record. We encourage students to join the high "High Attendance Day" celebration on Tuesday, September 18 and to make a commitment to being in school every day that school is in session. Commitment to good school attendance will make a positive impact on a student's education and future accomplishments. Students who have punctual and regular attendance are not only more successful in school, but in the workplace and in life's endeavors. Attendance is the first commitment necessary to becoming college and career ready. This story was posted on 2012-09-18 03:02:32
