A Message from Plummer Middle School
Hey, Parents! 👋
Attendance is one of the most important things for a student's success in school, and we need your help to make sure every day counts. When students are in class, they're not just learning facts; they're building the skills they'll need for life.
Why Attendance Matters
Missing school, even just a few days here and there, can really add up. When a student is absent, they can fall behind quickly. It's like trying to read a book after skipping a few chapters—it's hard to understand what's happening.
Academic Success: Regular attendance is directly tied to better grades. Kids who are in class consistently do better on tests and assignments because they're getting all the information directly from their teachers. They can ask questions, participate in discussions, and get hands-on experience. All of these things are much harder to do if they're not there.
Thank you for your partnership in making every school day a great one for your child!

Senate Bill 12 Consent Forms
