Attendance Matters!

Attending school has a huge impact on student success. This year our goal is to have every student miss no more than 9 days of school. In order to meet this goal, we need your help.

Below are some tips to help promote attendance for your student:

• Discuss the importance of going to school every day; get to school on time.
• Make sure your student keeps a regular bedtime and establishes a morning routine so they are rested and alert when they get to school.
• Make sure clothes are ready and backpacks are packed the night before.
• Avoid scheduling vacations or doctor’s appointments when school is in session.
• Check with our school nurse or office staff if you are not sure about when to keep your child at home due to illness.
• Talk to teachers and counselors for advice if your student feels anxious about going to school.
• Develop back-up plans for getting students to/from school in the event that something comes up. Call on a family member, neighbor, or another parent to help with transportation.

Please let us know how we can best support you and your student to arrive at school on time every day.
