Think about this! Excused and Unexcused absences have the same negative effect on student academic performance. When a student improves attendance, they improve their chances of graduating. January 12, 2018 is a very important attendance day at John Paul II Academy. During the month of January we will be very actively encouraging great attendance. Students who are on time and present on January 12th will receive a reward. The 3 classes that have the best on time percentage and the 3 classes that have the best attendance will receive a reward at the end of the month. Remember, one solid predictor of school success is Good Attendance!
