  • A video sharing tips for maintaining attendance 00:57 Attendance Tips

    Maintaining consistent attendance can be tough. Here are three tips that may make it easier:
    1. Routines. Having a clearly defined regimen makes keeping to a schedule a lot easier for young people and adults alike.
    2. Sleep. Getting plenty of rest sets you up for a great morning. Routines can be helpful for going to sleep too, and keeping screens charging in another room is another great strategy.
    3. Checklists. Anything that helps a student visualize all the steps they'll need to take to accomplish a task will benefit their ability to manage time.
