 Did you know missing just 10% of the school year can classify a Hawaii student as chronically absent? Hawaii requires children ages 5 through 18 to attend school, with limited exceptions, and families are responsible for ensuring regular attendance. When school-based interventions aren't enough, continued unexcused absences may lead to Family Court involvement, highlighting the importance of consistent classroom attendance.
