A new semester brings a fresh new start during the doldrums of this frigid winter: new classes, fresh grades, and another opportunity for academic success. One of the most consistent ways to ensure academic success is through regular school attendance.
At Pierz Schools, regular school attendance is considered one of our highest priorities. Research has proven that regular school attendance is a necessary component and a strong indicator of success both in school and in future work endeavors. As parents, you can set your children up for a lifetime of success by making regular attendance a priority. We strive to partner with parents to ensure students attend school.
While of the utmost importance for both schools, the attendance policies for each school varies slightly. Read for the full article and information on attendance policies in both schools.
Building Strong Foundations
Each school day offers valuable opportunities for learning, growth, and connection. Missing even a single day can mean lost opportunities to grasp new concepts, participate in discussions, and build relationships with teachers and peers. Studies show that students who attend school consistently in their early years are more likely to develop strong foundational skills in reading, math, and critical thinking.
Setting the Stage for Future Success
Attendance habits formed during childhood often carry over into adulthood. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to graduate, pursue higher education, and succeed in the workforce. Conversely, chronic absenteeism can significantly hinder a student’s progress and confidence.
Fostering Social Connections
School is not just a place for academics; it’s also where children develop important social and emotional skills. Regular attendance helps students build friendships, collaborate on projects, and learn how to navigate social dynamics—all essential skills for life beyond the classroom.
