Christian ( not Catholic) school parent here. Our kids do Chapel once a week in the morning.

Yes . Missing mass is a mortal sin.
I know you are joking but daily mass is not required except holy days of obligation (and Sundays). Some idiots on here will think you mean it.
Not Joking. If the kids are ordered to go, it's a mortal sin to not go.
That’s not how it works.
That's how it works -- when a superior orders you to do something, it's a mortal sin to refuse.
Cite?

No--not at all what Catholics believe! Actually nearly all the saints stood up to a superior. And if it is a sin at all, it would be venial sin, not a mortal sin. You were either poorly miseducated as a Catholic by some bad actors just wanting submission which absolutely did exist in the history of the Church (if this is it, please go and read the catechism and/or go to adult faith formation classes) or you are anti-Catholic.
Catholics believe that Mass is a celebration, a place of community, and an opportunity to connect with God through the sacraments. Daily mass is a gift, not at all required.
OP: Here is it very common to go to have a school mass once a week around here. Where I grew up in Baltimore, we usually went to mass the first Friday of the month and any holy days of obligation. We'd have a few other times--usually the day we got out for Thanksgiving Break, sometime in Advent and Lent, and the last day of school (or around then).

To attend a weekly non-obligatory Mass? No. I can take care of that on Sunday.
If faith formation bothers you, don’t send your kids to Catholic school.
Aw, thanks for the offer. Who said anything about faith formation? Go back and read the q & a.
Very weird take. Why are you in a Catholic school if once-a-week Mass bothers you that much? Can you explain what your issue is?
At my kids’ schools the non-Catholic students sit through the Mass respectfully.

Not DMV, two different schools for our kids. Both schools religious, not Diocesan, schools.
Once per week (grade or age group based). Plus on HDOs. At our kids’ schools, weekly masses open to the community. My spouse attends all weekly masses for our three kids. I’ll attend if available.
IME around the bc outrun, the Diocesan schools are pretty good about weekly masses. The religious and independent schools can be hit or miss. Really depends on who is in control.

One is monthly, was weekly in K-8.
The other has daily mass. It’s actually quite useful because I can schedule appointments (like his weekly therapy) during that time and he doesn’t miss instruction time. Also we can go to mass with him if we wish, which is lovely.
