Attendance Matters
Attendance Works Organization:
Develop backup plans for getting your children to school in bad weather.
- Check to see who can give your children a ride to school if you can’t take them or the bus doesn’t arrive.
- Form a “walking school bus” with other families to get students to school safely. Learn how to form a walking school bus here walkingschoolbus.org
- Tell the front office about transportation challenges. Our office has resources available for families.
- Maintain a regular bedtime and morning routine.
- Ensure students eat a good breakfast every morning, or check if your school serves breakfast.
- Stress hand washing, particularly in the winter months. Send your children to school with a small bottle of hand sanitizer.
- If your children seem anxious about going to school, ask teachers, school counselors, and parents for advice on how to make your children feel comfortable and excited about learning.
- If you are concerned your children may have Covid-19, call your school for advice.
Keep your children engaged in learning if they cannot attend school in person.
- Ask your teacher or school for resources you can use at home to keep your children learning.
- Identify who can support your children’s learning at home, especially if you must go to work.
- Please encourage your children to call classmates and stay connected to the teacher to learn about what they missed. WHAT CAN PARENTS DO? To learn more about attendance and strategies that make a difference visit www.attendanceworks.org
