Going to school regularly helps children build the social, emotional, and academic skills that lay the foundation for success. Research shows that students who are chronically absent in preschool and kindergarten are much less likely to read and count proficiently by the end of Grade 3 and are more likely to continue missing school in later grades.

Showing up early builds strong habits that last!

Chronic absence means missing 10% or more of school days, for any reason. That includes excused, unexcused, and suspended absences. While it may not feel like a lot, research shows that missing this much school can make it harder for students to learn to read by Grade 3, succeed in middle school, and graduate from high school.

At Grasslands, we care deeply about every child’s learning journey. Over time, the odd absences can add up, especially in the early years, and we want families to have the information they need to support success.

We’re proud to share that Grasslands’ Walking School Bus program was recently featured in this month’s School Health Newsletter.

The program began after Assistant Superintendent Katie Graham listened to family concerns about safety and helped create a solution that supports active, supervised travel to school.

Today, more than 170 students across three Brooks elementary schools participate, building confidence, learning safety skills, and strengthening community connections along the way.

Read more about how the Walking School Bus is making a difference below.
