Dear Windsong Ranch Elementary Families,


As we begin the new year, we want to highlight the importance of daily school attendance. Learning happens every day in our classrooms. Students who attend regularly build strong academic skills, develop responsibility and form meaningful connections with peers and staff.


Why attendance matters:

  • Missing just 2 days a month can equal nearly 4 weeks of lost learning in a year

  • Students with 90% or better attendance are more likely to stay on track academically

  • Chronic absences in elementary school can impact long-term reading success

Attendance expectations:

  • Students must maintain 90% attendance to receive course credit

  • All absences, excused or unexcused, count toward this requirement

  • Absences should be documented within three school days

  • Students below 90% may need an attendance recovery plan


Families play a vital role in supporting attendance. When absences occur, please communicate with teachers and help your child complete missed work promptly. Thank you for partnering with us.


Together we Prosper,

Michelle Qualls
