Attendance Matters!

Only allow your child to stay home if they are too sick to come.  Fever, vomiting, pink eye, or severe viral infections are cause to keep them home.  Complaints of headache or stomach ache can be signs of anxiety, and should be communicated to the guidance office.  If your child has specific health concerns, please let us know.

Have a plan, as well as a backup plan, to get your child to school on time, every day. Too often disruptions in the morning, or transportation issues, cause children to miss an entire day of school. Plan family vacations on weekends or around school breaks. A one week vacation causes each student to miss approximately 35 hours of instruction. If possible, schedule doctor and dentist appointments after school hours.

Use Infinite Campus to keep track of your child’s attendance. Chronic absenteeism means just missing two days per month, which, over the course of the school year, can equate to approximately 126 hours of learning. Communicate with us. Many issues can be resolved by utilizing the appropriate resources and staff members. Remember, we want your children here.  We are here to help.

Attend today, achieve tomorrow. #schooleveryday
