September is National School Attendance Awareness Month!
Consistent student attendance is essential to academic success. Research shows that when students miss school regularly, they can fall behind and struggle to catch up. In the past 5 weeks, since school started, La Costa Meadows Elementary has 903 absences and 272 of those are unexcused or unverified. It is important to avoid missing school, except for illness, medical issues, or family emergencies. It is helpful when parents and guardians communicate with school staff to clear unavoidable absences. For more information on how school absences can affect students and tips on how to plan for consistent attendance, please see the following documents in English and Spanish from attendanceworks.com
