Why Attendance Matters

Learning & Achievement

 

Being at school consistently helps students keep up with classroom learning and make steady academic progress. Regular attendance provides the foundation students need to reach their goals. 

Connection & Belonging

 

Coming to school each day helps students feel connected to their school community. Consistent attendance strengthens relationships and gives students a greater sense of belonging.

Building for the Future

 

Good attendance helps students develop dependable habits that carry beyond the classroom. Showing up consistently prepares students for the expectations they will encounter in college, careers, and life.

Attendance Tips

  • Stay connected with the school: If something is making it difficult for your child to attend school regularly, please contact the school. Our staff can help connect your family with resources and work with you to address attendance concerns. 
     
  • Build a positive connection to school: Encourage your child to see school as a place to learn, grow, and succeed. If your child is struggling or you have concerns about their school experience, reach out to their teacher or principal so you can work together to find solutions. 
  • Create a dependable morning routine: Help your child start each school day prepared by setting regular bedtimes and allowing enough time to get ready in the morning. If your family needs assistance with meals or transportation, please contact your child’s building principal to learn about available support.
     
  • Plan appointments around the school day: When possible, schedule appointments before or after school. When appointments must take place during the school day, try to minimize the amount of class time missed.
