Attendance

Every minute of every day matters in the McMinnville School District!

The academic impact of missing school is the same whether the absences are excused or unexcused. Too many absences can keep students from succeeding in life and in school. How many are too many? 10% of the school year—that’s 18 missed days or 2 days a month—can knock students off­ track.

Good attendance creates good habits that helps

• Pre-K students build skills and develop good habits for showing up on time
• Elementary students read well by the end of third grade
• High schoolers stay on track for graduation
• College students earn their degrees
• Workers succeed in their jobs
