Did You Know?

• Starting in kindergarten, too many absences (excused and unexcused) can cause children to fall behind in school. 
• Missing 10 percent (or about 18 days) increases the chance that your students will not read or master math at the same level as their peers.
• Students can still fall behind if they miss just a day or two days every few weeks.

BISD prioritizes partnering with families to make sure students fully benefit from their education by attending school regularly. Our schools are prepared to help families and students with attendance challenges. Please reach out to your school if you would like additional information.
