Supporting Strong School Attendance: A Guide for Families
Consistent school attendance supports students’ academic performance, social development, and future success. We understand that illness, emergencies, and family challenges happen. If you need support, please reach out. Every day matters - because when You’re Here Today, You’re Ready for Tomorrow!
What Families Can Do
Make school attendance a daily priority
Talk with your child about the importance of being in school
Schedule appointments outside of school hours when possible
Keep your contact information up to date so we can reach you
What the School Will Do
Take attendance daily and monitor student absences
Notify you if your child is absent and we have not heard from you
Share information about your child’s attendance record
Reach out if attendance patterns become a concern
Partner with you to support your child’s regular attendance
Provide help and resources if challenges arise
When Your Child Is Absent
For all absences, please contact the school as soon as possible to let us know:
The reason for the absence
When your child is expected to return
Absence types have been updated in Parent Portal to align with Board Policy. Documentation and/or principal approval is required for excusal of recurring treatment (ie, orthodontia, counseling), pre-arranged absences (ie, travel, preventative medical care), family emergencies, extended period for disability or disorder, and legal absences. Additional requirements may exist when students are habitually truant or chronically absent.
If Attendance Becomes a Concern
If your child begins to miss multiple days, we will:
Reach out to better understand what may be impacting attendance
Work with you to identify solutions and supports
Develop an Attendance Support Plan if needed
Our goal is to partner with you, not to assign blame; we understand that illness, emergencies, and family challenges happen.
We Are Here to Help
We understand that challenges can affect attendance. If your family needs support with:
Transportation
Mental or physical health concerns
School anxiety
Family or housing challenges
Please contact us. We will work together to find solutions.
