Attendance is Important!
More
Attendance is a crucial first step for the success of our students! If a child is not at school, they cannot learn.
Obviously there are times when a child may need to stay home, so please keep your child at home if he or she has a fever, is vomiting or has diarrhea, or has anything else that is contagious (strep throat, etc.). Otherwise, it is important that children come to school, on time, each day, ready to learn!
| Try to attend every day in September! |
| Students who miss fewer than 2 days in September, continued to average less than 2 days per month for the remainder of the school year |
| Regularly missing 2 days per month has negative repercussions |
| Students who are absent 10% of each school year (2 days each month) from JK to Grade 8, will have missed one full year of classroom instruction! |
| Every day matters! |
| A student who is absent 1 day per week will be absent 40 days (22%) of the school year |
