• Attendance

    Attendance in school has been shown to greatly affect student success throughout their educational career and beyond. Being chronically absent can hinder a student's foundation in a class which can make the later topics more difficult and cause additional stress or anxiety. Having a routine is also good for a student's mental and emotional well-being. We want to ensure that your student is here each day so that they can reach their goals in the future. 

    We want to be part of the solution with you! We offer many opportunities to monitor attendance including online access to attendance and grades, automated calls to ensure that you are aware of the absence, flexible options in situations where health issues may cause additional accommodations, incentives for students who have exceptional attendance, and many ways for parents and guardians to get involved in the school including joining our Local School Improvement Council (LSIC)!  Please help us help your student reach their goals and learn positive habits!

    What Parents Can Do:

      • Make getting students to school on time every day a top priority.
      • If your child is absent, notify the school and provide appropriate documentation as soon as they return to ensure the absence is coded correctly (doctor's excuses, parent notes - digital or handwritten, etc)
      • Alert schools and community agencies to barriers that keep kids from attending class.
      • Ask for and monitor data on your child's chronic absence.
      • Collaborate with your school’s support team.
      • Demand action to address systemic barriers that may be causing large numbers of students to miss too much school.

     

    Digital Absence Note

    All students are allotted 10 parent notes per year to account for any absence where your child was not in attendance at school, but did not visit a doctor’s office.  These 10 absences will be coded as excused on their attendance record.  These excuses can be turned in physically or digitally using the link below.  Be sure to fill out all information correctly and be sure to select the correct school to ensure the correct secretary receives your excuse to be coded appropriately.  Please use the link below to get started.
