Why Attendance Matters

Academic Achievement


 

Students who attend school regularly are more likely to achieve academic success, graduate on time, and pursue higher education opportunities.

Social and Emotional Development


 

School provides a supportive environment where students can develop social skills, build friendships, and enhance their emotional well-being.

Future Success


 

Regular attendance instills valuable habits such as punctuality, responsibility, and commitment, which are essential for success in life.

How We Can Help

 

We are here to help you. Let’s be partners in this journey.

Attendance Tips

  • Communicate with the school: If your child experiences challenges that affect their attendance, please reach out to the school for support and resources. We are your partner and here to help you however we can. 
     
  • Encourage a love of learning: Foster a positive attitude towards school and learning by engaging in educational activities with your child at home.  If there are areas where your child’s school or academic experience can improve, we encourage you to speak with your school principal or educator. 
  • Establish a consistent routine: Ensure your child gets enough sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, and has ample time to prepare for school each morning.  If you need help with providing meals for your child or are in need of transportation, please contact your child’s principal. 
     
  • Schedule appointments outside of school hours: Whenever possible, schedule doctor's appointments, dental check-ups, and other appointments during non-school hours.  Even missing a half day of school for an appointment can be disruptive to your child’s academic experience.
