Tips: Attendance

Attendance is important!

  • Establish a routine. Help your child maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep.
  • Try not to schedule dental and medical appointments during the school day.
  • Prepare the night before.  Choose clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
  • Ask for help from school officials, afterschool programs, other parents or community agencies if you’re having trouble getting your child to school.
  • Know the district policy on attendance.
