STUDENT ATTENDANCE

Student success begins with attendance. The Rochester City School District is committed to increasing our students' academic achievement with educational equity through consistent attendance. The Rochester City School District, in partnership with all our departments and staff, families and community members, will collaborate to implement strategies so all our students meet or exceed their academic potential.
