Absences Add Up
Did you know? Missing just two days of school each month can add up to chronic absence over the course of a school year.
Every absence, excused or unexcused, means time away from learning, relationships and the routines that help students succeed.
The good news? It’s never too late to build stronger attendance habits. If getting to school regularly is becoming difficult, reach out to your school. We’re here to help!

All RPS 205 schools & buildings are closed today in observance of the federal holiday.
September is Attendance Awareness Month! Every day at school gives students opportunities to learn, build friendships, connect with caring adults & discover what they're capable of. Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing why attendance matters because every student brings something important to our schools.
