Attendance = Opportunity
At Wichita Public Schools, we are committed to ensuring that Every Student is Future Ready.
Regular attendance is crucial for your child’s academic success. Consistent school attendance helps students build strong social skills and develop the discipline needed for lifelong achievement.
While we understand that absences are sometimes unavoidable, ensuring your child attends school as regularly as possible gives them the best opportunity to succeed.
Establishing healthy attendance habits at the start of the school year is critical. Research shows that attendance patterns set in September tend to persist throughout the year.
Students who miss fewer than two days in September generally maintain good attendance habits, while those missing more than two days are at greater risk of becoming chronically absent later in the year.
We encourage you to embrace this new school year as an opportunity to partner with us in helping your child attend school each day. Together, we can support their journey toward becoming Future Ready!
