What's Up At Willow?
September 19-23
Attendance Reminders
Chronic absenteeism in elementary school can predict lower test scores, poor attendance and retention in later grades, especially if the problem persists for more then a year. Our goal is to strive for less than 5!
- Arriving to school after 8:30a is considered a half day absence.
- Leaving school before 2:30p is considered a half day absence.
If children don't show up to school regularly, they miss out on fundamental reading and math skills and the chance to build a habit of good attendance that will carry them into college and careers.
Per our attendance policy, although you call and 'verify' the absence, it does not always mean it is an excused absence.
Unexcused absences may be - oversleeping, transportation issues, staying home, too tired, personal reasons, appointments without a doc note.
Excused absences is - Unavoidable medical or doctors appointment (students must present a doctors note), bereavement, religious observation.
