Every Bear, every day!
Did you know that missing just 2 days a month means a child misses 10% of the school year? Now more than ever, attendance, participation, and engagement are critical to your student's success in school. Your Skyward Family Access account is a convenient way to view and track your student's attendance.
To help with attendance:
Praise your child when he shows good attendance and punctuality.
Long vacations, long weekends, and frequent doctor appointments scheduled during school hours can cause your child to fall behind in class.
Follow proper school guidelines for reporting excused absences in a timely manner.
Allow your child to stay home alone when they have a contagious illness or are too sick to be comfortable.
Give your child plenty of time to get ready for school in the morning. Pack lunches, pack school bags, and lay out clothes the night before.
Monitor your child's attendance through GPISD Skyward Family Access.
