PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Attendance Tips For Parents
Let Children Know that Good Attendance Is Important!
Attendance is a parent and student responsibility. Let your child know that you think attending school daily is important. Show them you are interested in their school activities and tell them that you want them to do well in school.
Good attendance habits start at an early age. Make sure your child goes to school regularly and on time. This helps them develop a positive view of school and the importance of attendance.
Become involved in your child’s school life and school activities.
Take an interest in your child’s school work. Check homework for accuracy and completeness.
Read the school newsletter. Post the school calendar and notes on the refrigerator, or other prominent location to highlight school activities and important student information.
Do not provide inappropriate excuses for your child to miss school. Do not let them take time off from school for minor ailments – particularly those which would not prevent you from going to work.
Don’t expect or let older children stay home from school to babysit younger siblings.
Set good examples and enforce rules. Speak well of the school and support school staff.
Make a contract with your child to improve his/her attendance. Reward positive improvements.
