Regular attendance plays an important role in student success. Ohio has recently updated its attendance laws to better support families and identify attendance concerns early.
Schools are required to monitor the total amount of instructional time students miss, including full-day absences, late arrivals, and early dismissals. The focus is not only on unexcused absences and truancy, but also on identifying concerns early and supporting students and families who may be at risk of chronic absenteeism.
Under Ohio law, a student is considered chronically absent when they miss 10% of the required instructional time during the school year, regardless of the reason for the absence.
Research consistently shows that regular school attendance is connected to stronger academic outcomes, including success in reading, overall achievement, and graduating from high school.
We are excited to work alongside the Columbus Crew to make attendance a priority. Every day matters, and every minute counts!
Dates and times may change, so please check back weekly for the most up-to-date schedule.
Ohio recently updated its school attendance law, affecting schools statewide, with a renewed focus on supporting families and intervening early when attendance concerns arise.
Schools will notify families when a student reaches 5% of missed instructional hours. All absences—excused and unexcused—count toward this total. Our goal is to support families and help identify and address barriers to regular attendance.
Good attendance supports student success, and we're here to help when families face challenges that affect attendance.
