April 2022 Newsletter
Fourth Quarter
Parents, guardians and caregivers play an important role in ensuring positive educational outcomes. To make sure that you are doing all that you can to promote good attendance for your child, consider these questions:
- Have I established a regular bedtime and morning routine for my child?
- Do I schedule doctors or dentists’ appointments during non-school hours?
- If I must take my child out of a school for an important appointment do I bring my child back so my child does not miss valuable instruction time?
- Does my family go on vacation only during official school holidays?
- Have I developed a plan, in conjunction with school staff, to address chronic health conditions for my child that might lead to excessive absences?
- Do I have a back-up plan to get my child to school?
Thank you for partnering with us to ensure your child's success! We couldn't do it without you!
