Attendance Updates
By 6/30/27 we will improve Attendance Performance of All students, All grades. We will decrease chronic absenteeism by 4% each year over the next 3 years for a total of 12% decrease.
As of September 25th, 2025, Taylor Elementary has a 94.25% student attendance. That means on average we have 94.25% of our students in attendance each day.
Children are considered chronically absent if they miss 10% of school days. That equates to 2 days per month. This includes both unexcused and excused absences. If your child has already missed 3 days this school year, they are considered chronically absent.
Children are considered habitually truant when they have missed more than 42 hours in a month or 72 hours in a year. So that is 6 days in a month and 11 days in a school year. This only includes unexcused absences.
If your child arrives late or leaves early consistently, they are not only missing out on academic learning time, but they are also at risk of being considered chronically absent or habitually truant.
When your child triggers one of the above events, the school must take action. This could look like emails, phone calls, meetings, letters in the mail, an absence intervention plan, and possibly truancy court.
Taylor Elementary wants to avoid all of the above and work with our families to support students in attending school. We want to do what we can to help get your students to school. If you have a situation or circumstance that we should be aware of or that we could possibly help resolve, please fill out the form below.
Reminders:
Arrival Reminder:
Taylor Families, we kindly remind you that our school doors open at 8:30 a.m. For the safety of all students, please have your child remain in your vehicle until that time, as staff are not available to provide supervision beforehand. Your cooperation helps us ensure a safe and smooth start to each school day, and we truly appreciate your support.
Early Dismissal:
While sometimes necessary and unavoidable picking your child up early from school does count against there attendance. We will not call your child down to the office until you are in the building. Please be prepared to show your ID at that time.
Infinite Campus: Parent Access:
By this time, all parent's and guardians should have received several emails from Infinite Campus that include an access code specific to your child. If you have not yet logged in, check your email for the information. If you did not receive the email, please reach out to your child's teacher for support.
