SCHOOL SURVEY - NEW DEADLINE NOW APRIL 30th

ENCUESTA ESCOLAR: NUEVA FECHA LÍMITE, AHORA EL 30 DE ABRIL

ENQUÊTE SCOLAIRE – NOUVELLE DATE LIMITE : LE 30 AVRIL

Attendance at school every day is IMPORTANT!!

Did you know that missing just two days of school can add up to 18 missed days a year? That’s chronic absenteeism and it starts as early as pre-k. When students miss school, they lose instruction time, may fall behind academically, and may struggle with confidence and making connections. These absences have a lasting impact on their learning and development. 

At NYC Public Schools, we believe every day matters. Our schools are safe and supportive environments, and the classroom is a better place when our students are here.

Help us inform families on the importance of keeping students in school every day by using this toolkit to support messaging to your community.
