Attendance

Every day matters at Compass Academy. Being present and engaged helps students build relationships, participate in meaningful learning experiences, and stay on track toward their goals. At Compass Academy, we partner with students and families to encourage consistent attendance and to provide support when challenges arise. We recognize that illness, a death in the immediate family, family emergencies, and situations beyond the control of the student are valid causes for missing school. If your student is too ill to come to school, please keep them at home and report the absence via our absence line. Be aware that attendance calls go out at 10:30 a.m. each school day for unexcused absences, so it is important to submit absences in a timely manner. Please refer to our Student Handbook for a full explanation of attendance types, definitions, and procedures.

Keep in mind that consistent attendance supports:

• Academic Achievement: allowing students to grasp new concepts, participate in discussions, and build on prior learning.
• Confidence and Mastery: helping students stay on track and feel capable in their learning.
• Connection and Belonging: fostering relationships and a sense of community, essential for personal and emotional growth.
• Life Skills and Responsibility: cultivating accountability, perseverance, and time management.
• Future Success: preparing students for higher education, careers, and lifelong achievement.
