Currently, the state of California has dedicated much focus to reducing absenteeism in schools through the In School + On Track initiative, which revitalizes efforts made to keep accurate and informative attendance data. Additionally, absenteeism has been integrated into California’s Local Control and Accountability Plan to monitor district performance and improvement. Given the heightened policy concern surrounding absenteeism and truancy, this study seeks to improve researchers’ understanding of the impacts of missing school for high school students. This study will be the first known study to use preregistered secondary data from a school district, let alone the first preregistered study that seeks to address student attendance in schools.

Aim. The aim of the study was to examine the selected nutritional behaviours of junior- high school students with different body mass from the Bialski school district. Basic procedures. Based on international standards for the subjects’ BMI, they were divided into three groups: underweight, norm, and overweight or obese. We used our own personally designed questionnaire to evaluate nutrition behaviours. Results. Body Mass Index (BMI) for most of the subjects, both girls (69.84%) and boys (79.9%) was within the norms. The most commonly noted source of knowledge about health was the media, and the least popular – teachers. Overweight and obese youth declared abiding the principles of maintaining a healthy lifestyle less frequently than the rest. More than 65% of the subjects consumed 3 to 5 meals a day. The most common mistakes in eating habits are: irregular eating, snacking in-between meals, frequently eating fast-food meals. Conclusions. The studied youth declared that they adhere to the principles of a healthy lifestyle, however, abnormal nutritional behaviours were observed related to, among others: lack of regularity in eating meals, snacking in-between meals and frequent consumption of fast-food meals. The results of the study indicate the need for education about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and its impact on health.
