Attendance Matters
According to research, regular school attendance plays an important role in a student’s achievement and success. Attendance tips for a successful year:
1. Establish a regular bedtime and morning routine.
2. Avoid appointments and extended trips during school hours.
3. Keep track of your child’s attendance using ParentVue.
4. Emphasize the importance of regular school attendance with your child.
5. Discuss and address any anxiety, barriers, or negative feelings your child may have about school.
6. Communicate with the school and ask for help if needed
Contact our Attendance Technician Earlene Bell at ebell863@nps.k12.va.us if you need support with your student's attendance.
