Attendance Matters at Quincy Public Schools
At Quincy Public Schools, we believe Learning Lives Here — and it starts with showing up. A strong start to the school year sets the tone for academic success, and regular attendance is one of the most powerful predictors of student achievement. When students are absent, they miss more than a lesson — they miss opportunities to connect, collaborate, and grow.
Every day in school builds on the day before. Consistent attendance helps students keep pace with learning, engage fully in class activities, and develop the habits that prepare them for future success. Just a few missed days can make it harder to master key concepts, participate in group projects, and feel connected to classmates and teachers.
As we begin this school year, we ask families to partner with us in making attendance a top priority. By working together to ensure students are present and ready to learn each day, we give them the best chance to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Let’s make this year one where every student shows up, grows, and succeeds.
