Greetings Harllee Families!
Back to School is quickly approaching! We are so excited to welcome your Hawk back in a few short weeks. This is our back to school edition of The Harllee Highlights. Please find all the Harllee specific information you need for a successful back to school, in addition to community resources.
Here are a few tips on how to prepare your Hawk for a GREAT school year!
1. Visit the school or classroom-- (Join us for Meet the Teacher Night!)
2. Read good books about starting school.
3. Talk to your child about his feelings about school, friends, teachers, and new activities.
4.Rehearse self-help skills such as dressing, undressing, and hand-washing. Your child will feel more confident when she's asked to do these things at school.
5. Practice, practice, practice! Learning how to get ready each morning for the trip to school takes time and practice. It's helpful to practice this before the actual first day. Pretend it's a school day, and go through the steps of getting up, dressed, fed, and out the door.

5. ¡Practica, practica, practica! Aprender a prepararse cada mañana para el viaje a la escuela requiere tiempo y práctica. Es útil practicar esto antes del primer día real. Finge que es un día escolar y sigue los pasos de levantarse, vestirse, alimentarse y salir por la puerta.

El primer día de clases es el lunes 15 de agosto. Las puertas se abren a las 7:30 AM. A las familias se les permitirá llevar a los estudiantes a la puerta del aula. No hay entrada en el aula para hacer que el adiós sea un poco más fácil.

Every Hawk Every Day! Good Attendance Starts Now!
Did you know?
- Starting in preschool and kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school.
- Missing 10%, or about 2 days each month over the course of a school year, can make it harder to learn to read.
- Students can still fall behind if they miss just 1 or 2 days every few weeks. • Being late to school may lead to poor attendance
- Absences and tardiness can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help children catch up.
The Texas State Compulsory Attendance Law requires students ages 6 through 19 to attend school. Section 25.085 requires students to go to school each school day for the entire school day unless exempted by law. This requirement includes students who have voluntarily enrolled in prekindergarten or kindergarten and students who are nineteen years old or older.
Students who violate this law may get referral(s) for court proceedings against the parent, guardian or student to enforce the law.
Violation of the law occurs when students get unexcused absences for 10 or more days or parts of days within a six-month period.
Partial Absence
Students are required to attend school from the time the school day begins until the time the school day ends. A partial day absence occurs when a student is not present for part of the school day.
A student who arrives late or leaves early will get a partial absence.
The school will decide whether the partial absence is excused or unexcused using the same standards for determining the status of full-day absences.
