Dear Chapman Middle School’s Families,
Attending school has a huge impact on student success. We realize some absences are for health or other reasons. However, a great number of absences can have a negative impact on your student’s success. Your child’s education is important, and it is our desire to have your child present each day school is in session. We realize circumstances arise that prevent attendance; however, the Code of Alabama requires schools to notify parents of their student’s absences.
Parent’s Responsibilities
- Encourage student attendance by taking a positive approach to school and school activities.
- Check frequently with school personnel as to student’s progress.
- Provide written excuse within two days after the student returns to school explaining his/her absence.
- Ask for help when an attendance problem arises with your child.
Student’s Responsibilities
- Regular attendance at school in each class is required.
- A normal participation in school work, such as, being prepared for class, completing assignments, participating in discussion and other involvement as deemed necessary by individual teachers is required.
If your family or your child needs support, please reach out to your child’s school for help.
We look forward to seeing you at school every day. Please let us know how we can best support you and your student so that they can attend school on time every day.
