If you’re not in class, you can’t make the grade. If you don’t make the grade, you don’t graduate, and you won’t be good to go to college or a career.
Being G2G means attending high school at least 92 percent of the time.
Did you know?
- Your ninth-grade attendance record can be used to predict whether you graduate from high school or end up dropping out.
- Attendance is even more important than test scores in determining how well you’ll do.
- Being five minutes late to class each morning adds up to 900 minutes over the course of an academic year. That’s 15 hours, more than a half a week of school.
If you’re struggling to get to school by the morning’s first bell, talk to your guidance counselor or another adult you trust about managing your time.
