As the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, it’s tempting to ease up on school routines. Spring fever sets in, and students (and sometimes parents) may start to feel less motivated to maintain strong school attendance. However, consistent attendance remains just as important in the final months of the school year as it is at the beginning.
