Mountain Empire Unified School District

At Mountain Empire Unified, we want every student to benefit from all the great learning opportunities our schools offer. When students attend school regularly, they are more connected, more involved, and more likely to graduate and succeed later in life.

 

Missing even two days a month means your child could miss about 10% of the school year—over time, that adds up to an entire year of school lost. Every day of learning counts, whether the absence is excused or not.

 

Did you know?
• Missing about two days a month can make it harder for your child to build key skills for work and life, form strong relationships, and develop good habits.
• Students who miss just two days a month may struggle with reading by third grade, have lower achievements in middle school, and face challenges graduating from high school.
• Chronic absences—missing two days each month or over 18 days in a school year—have doubled since the pandemic began.
• Regular school attendance is one of the most important parts of your child’s academic and social-emotional growth.

 

If your child is going to be absent, please let the school office know so we can work together to keep them on track.
