Absences & Resources

Regular school attendance plays a vital role in every student's academic success, social development, and overall well-being. Being in school each day helps students stay engaged in learning, build positive relationships, and develop habits that support future success.

Ohio law establishes attendance expectations for all students and outlines different attendance categories based on the number of instructional hours missed. This page explains each attendance tier, what it means for your family, and how North Ridgeville City Schools partners with parents and guardians to support students when attendance becomes a concern.

Attendance tiers are calculated using the total instructional hours for your child's school building during the current school year. Because instructional hours vary by building, the number of hours that make up each attendance tier may differ. Learn more about instructional hours and see how they translate into the attendance percentages and thresholds outlined below.
