Going to school regularly helps children build the social, emotional, and academic skills that lay the foundation for success. Research shows that students who are chronically absent in preschool and kindergarten are much less likely to read and count proficiently by the end of Grade 3 and are more likely to continue missing school in later grades.

Showing up early builds strong habits that last!

Each year, Alberta Education and Childcare invites parents and guardians to take part in the Education Assurance Survey to gather insights into student learning experiences and school environments.

The 2026 survey is due by March 6th, 2026. Your school has shared access details.

Thank you for being part of the conversation and supporting continuous improvement in education.

Assurance Survey
Chronic absence means missing 10% or more of school days, for any reason. That includes excused, unexcused, and suspended absences. While it may not feel like a lot, research shows that missing this much school can make it harder for students to learn to read by Grade 3, succeed in middle school, and graduate from high school.

At Grasslands, we care deeply about every child’s learning journey. Over time, the odd absences can add up, especially in the early years, and we want families to have the information they need to support success.
