SCHOOL +YOU = SUCCESS
Your child's regular attendance in school encourages academic
and social-emotional success. Together, families, educators,
and community members can support a child's attendance and help
each student stay on the path to success.
It doesn't matter whether the absences are excused or unexcused
-- each missed day represents missed learning time. Missed days add
up quickly: When a student misses as few as two days a month, thats
10% of the school year. This increases the risk of academic and
social-emotional struggles. (2 absences a month x by nine months
= 18 days/10% of missed school days in a school year.)
School + You = Success
Build Relationships
Students do best in a warm, safe and welcoming environment. We
can all help by: Ensuring every student is connected with an adult
within his or her school who can watch for issues and help with
solutions. Helping students build relationships with classmates
andpeers. Planning for success by setting attendance goals and
addressing possible obstacles in advance.
Plan Ahead
Things dont always go smoothly. Planning ahead can help be ready
for issues with: Transportation (Explore carpool, bus, safe
walk/bike options.) After school pick-up and care (Have a
back-up!)
