Did you Know?

  • Even if your student’s absences are excused, your child is still missing crucial instruction which can cause extra stress and pressure on the student, the teacher, and the class.
  • Good attendance is an important life skill that will help your child graduate from college and keep a job.
  • Studies show that students should miss no more than 9 days of school each year to stay engaged, successful and on track for graduation.
  • Absences can be a sign that a student is losing interest in school, struggling with school work, dealing with a bully, or facing some other potentially serious difficulty.

What you can Do!

  • Talk about the importance of showing up to school on time everyday, make that the expectation.
  • Try not to schedule dental and medical appointments during the school day.
  • Don’t let your child stay home unless truly sick. Complaints of headaches or stomach aches may be signs of anxiety.
  • Know the school’s attendance policy.
  • Find out if your child feels engaged by his or her classes and/or feels safe from bullies and other threats.
  • Check regularly on your child’s attendance to be sure absences are not piling up.
  • Help your child maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep.
