QUESTION 12 OF 25

Why do you feel regular attendance is important for students?

"Regular attendance is important for students because school is the first job that they have! It's a responsibility and a great way to enforce strong habits from the start."

"School is a responsibility and records are permanent. If a student is frequently absent, it may affect their opportunities for acceptance into a university, for example."

As an attendance clerk, you ought to understand the importance of the work that you are doing and also the importance of student attendance. Try not to sound negative or say anything negative about the students who are not regular attendees.

"Regular attendance is important for students so they don't miss important lessons in class and can keep good grades. Regular attendance also creates strong habits for the students when they get into the workforce."
