Attendance Matters

Attendance Matters

At Talmadge, we know that your child’s attendance matters to their success. If your child is well, it is important for them to attend classes. 

Students with solid attendance (90 percent or more throughout the year) are much more likely to be successful during school and after graduation. Every day that your student attends increases their ability to take advantage of the learning environment.
