Washoe County School District

As a family, you play a crucial role in helping your child succeed in school and beyond. A child missing just two days a month is considered chronically absent. Absences can add up quickly, causing students to fall behind academically and socially. By encouraging consistent attendance, identifying any barriers your child may face, and working closely with their school, you can make a significant difference in their education and future opportunities. Together, we can ensure every child has the chance to succeed. Click here to access our family resources page.
