Every Day Counts!

Every Day Counts at Lewis County Schools!

A couple of missed days may seem small, but they can add up quickly. Missing just two days a month adds up to 18 days over a 180-day school year. That’s time students could be spending learning new skills, asking questions, and connecting with classmates.

What is chronic absenteeism? It means missing 10% or more of the school days a student has been enrolled. Both excused and unexcused absences count. For example, missing five out of 50 school days is already 10%.

We know that illness and other challenges come up. A consistent bedtime and morning routine can help, and when attendance becomes difficult, please reach out to your child’s school. We’re here to listen and work with you to help your child stay connected and on track.
