In addition to school-based interventions, Arlington Community Schools will provide students and families with access to resources aimed at improving attendance. This may include counseling, academic support, and community-based programs designed to address underlying issues that contribute to absenteeism. The district recognizes that consistent attendance is often linked to broader social, emotional, and economic factors, and we are committed to offering assistance where possible to ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed.

Arlington Community Schools believes that regular school attendance is essential to academic success and overall student development. Attending school consistently ensures that students have access to valuable instructional time, fostering engagement and achievement. As such, all students are expected to be present and punctual each school day unless prevented by an excused absence as defined by this policy.
