George Washington School

🏫 Chronic absenteeism affects students at every level! From elementary through high school, factors like low self-efficacy, poor school climate, and weak teacher relationships increase absence rates by 1.5-1.9x. Let's support ALL our students! #WHeRiseTogether

Absenteeism is a lost opportunity to learn. #WHe can’t afford to think of absenteeism as merely a lack of compliance with school rules. Students who are chronically absent
in 6th grade have lower achievement than their peers. #BePresentBePowerful #WHeRiseTogether
