Attendance Tips for Parents
Let Children Know that Good Attendance Is Important:
- Attendance is a parent and student responsibility.
- Let your child know that you think attending school daily is important.
- Good attendance habits start at an early age. Make sure your child goes to school regularly and on time.
- Discuss with your student that arriving to school on time and to report to class when dropped off.
- Check homework for accuracy and completeness.
- Read the school newsletter. Post the school calendar and notes on the refrigerator, or other prominent location to highlight school activities and important student information.
- Do not provide inappropriate excuses for your child to miss school. Do not let them take time off from school for minor ailments – particularly those which would not prevent you from going to work.
- Don’t expect or let older children stay home from school to babysit younger siblings.
- Set good examples and enforce rules. Speak well of the school and support school staff.
Establish a Routine:
- Give yourself and children enough time to get ready.
- Set alarm clock 30 minutes earlier for students who need more time to get ready for school.
- Plan ahead the night before.
- Set a regular bedtime schedule. Age should be a factor. Get proper rest and go to bed early.
- Have your child go to bed 10 minutes earlier and get up 10 minutes earlier.
- Have kids bathe or shower in the evening.
- Provide regular study times and a quiet, clean area for doing homework.
