At Santa Rita Union School District, we believe every day counts. Regular attendance is one of the most important factors in your child’s success — in school and in life.

Why attendance matters:

• Students who attend regularly build stronger friendships, confidence, and skills.
• Missing just 2 days a month adds up to 20 days in a school year — a full month of learning lost.
• Good attendance keeps students connected, prepared, and proud of their progress.

The impact of absences:
When students are often absent, they miss critical learning time. This can lead to:

• Gaps in reading and math skills.
• Lower grades and confidence.
• Higher risk of not graduating later on.
