The Peekskill Board of Education recognizes that regular school attendance is a major component of students' academic success. Through the implementation of this policy, the Board of Education expects full attendance by all students, and to reduce the level of unexcused absences, tardiness, and early departures.
The Special Services Department has implemented a five point plan to improve attendance district wide. This includes an Attendance Matters Campaign and adopted the Attendance Works criteria for good standing attendance.
