Attendance Affects More Than Just Grades

Showing up every day matters. Regular attendance can help students build stronger relationships, understand their work with greater confidence, reduce the stress of falling behind, and create more opportunities after high school.

At Waterford High School, we want every Wildcat to have the opportunity to succeed.

Be present. Be prepared. Be your best.

September is Su***de Awareness Month, & I want every student & family to know ~ you are not alone. 💚

Whether checking in with a friend or having an open conversation at home, taking time to talk, listen, & support can save lives.

It’s okay to not be okay, and you don't have to navigate it by yourself. Your Waterford High School counselor is always here to talk & support you.

Every Day Matters! 💚

Chronic absenteeism can impact learning, relationships, & a student’s long-term success.

Ohio’s House Bill 96 made important changes to school attendance, emphasizing early intervention, family communication, & support when students begin missing too much school.

Under the updated law:
📚 Chronic absenteeism is missing at least 10% of required school hours.
🤝 All absences count toward chronic absenteeism, including excused absences.
📣 Schools must notify families when attendance concerns reach specified thresholds.
💚 Schools are expected to use prevention, intervention, & support strategies to address the barriers keeping students from school.

The goal isn't simply to count absences. It's to understand why students are missing school & connect them & their families with the support they may need to get back on track.

Attendance is everyone's responsibility ~ schools, families, students, & our community.

Let's work together to make sure every student is present, supported, connected, & ready to learn.

📚 SCHEDULE CHANGE REMINDER 🐾

As we get ready for the first day of school, remember that schedule changes are meant to make sure you have the classes you need and that your schedule works for you.

JUNIORS & SENIORS ~ DON’T PANIC! If you have an open period or two, we’ll work on getting those filled when school starts on August 19th.

Schedule changes are intended for academic needs, so please keep that in mind when requesting a change.
