Greetings Caruso Families,
We are excited to approach the half-way point of the 2016-17 school year and we have much to celebrate! We hope one of these celebrations is significant improvement in our building-wide attendance numbers compared to last year.
Did You Know?
• By 9th grade, regular and high attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th-grade test scores
• By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school.
• Missing 10 percent, or about 18 days, of the school year can drastically affect a student’s academic success.
Make School Attendance a Priority
• Talk about the importance of showing up to school every day, make that the expectation.
• Help your child maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep.
• Try not to schedule dental and medical appointments during the school day.
• Don’t let your child stay home unless truly sick. Complaints of headaches or stomach aches may be signs of anxiety.
You can learn more at attendanceworks.org.
Sincerely,
Brian Bullis
