Consistent routines lead to confident learners! Regular attendance helps our Golden Eagles stay on track academically while building strong friendships and a sense of belonging.
Check out these quick facts and practical tips to help set your student up for a successful school year...
Did you know?
- Too many absences in preschool and elementary school can cause children to struggle socially and academically.
- Being late to school may lead to poor attendance.
- Missing 10% of school (2 days each month) can make it harder to learn to read and do basic math.
- Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school — and themselves.
- Start building this habit in TK and through elementary school so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day, is important.
What you can do….
- Set a regular bedtime and morning routine.
- Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
- Keep your child healthy and make sure your child has the required shots.
- Develop backup plans for getting to school if something comes up.
- Monitor your child’s absences.
- Try to schedule nonurgent medical appointments and extended trips when school isn’t in session and bring your child to school after their doctor’s appointment.
- If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, school counselors and other parents for advice on how to make your child feel comfortable and excited about learning.
- If you are concerned that your child may have a contagious illness, call your school nurse or health-care provider for advice. Ask the teacher for ideas to support missed learning time.
