What is Truancy?
Truancy isn’t just about skipping school—it can have serious academic and legal consequences. A student is considered truant after 7+ unexcused absences, which can lead to intervention meetings, attendance contracts, and even court involvement. The good news? Truancy is preventable! Parents can help by reporting absences, ensuring students arrive on time, and addressing any school concerns early. Schools offer support for families facing challenges like transportation or health issues. If you need help, don’t wait to reach out to your school today! Together, we can keep students on the path to success. #attendancemattersVA #BePresentBePowerful

Did you know that missing just two days a month adds up to nearly a full month of lost learning each year? Regular attendance helps students stay on track, build good habits, and succeed in school and beyond. When students miss school, they miss valuable lessons, class discussions, and opportunities to connect with teachers and friends. Families can help by setting morning routines, scheduling appointments outside school hours, and staying in touch with teachers. If your child is struggling with attendance, we’re here to help! Contact your school for support and resources. Let’s work together to make every school day count! #AttendanceMattersVA #EveryDayCounts #SOAR
