THE BEAR ESSENTIALS

Fall Break is just around the corner! Students will not have school on Monday, October 12, or Tuesday, October 13. We will welcome students back to school on Wednesday, October 14.

We are also officially halfway through Quarter 1! Fall Break is a great opportunity for students to relax and recharge, but it is also a wonderful time to check grades, complete any missing assignments, and catch up on schoolwork.

We hope everyone enjoys a safe and relaxing Fall Break. We look forward to seeing our students back on Wednesday, October 14!

Go Bears! 💙💛

In Michigan, a student is considered chronically absent when they miss 18 or more school days, which is 10% of the school year. Excused absences, unexcused absences, and suspensions all count toward chronic absenteeism.

If your child is absent due to illness, a doctor’s note is required to medically excuse the absence. Please provide documentation to the school when your child sees a medical provider.

At Roosevelt, we closely monitor attendance and communicate with families throughout the process:

• 5 absences: First attendance letter
• 10 absences: Second attendance letter
• 15 absences: Third and final attendance letter

Tardies matter, too. We mark a student absent if they are 10 minutes or more late to class, and parents cannot excuse tardies.

Once a student reaches 15 absences, we begin working with our School Resource Officer and the court system. We may issue a truancy ticket, and the student and their family may be required to appear in court. We also document our efforts to communicate with families about attendance.

Our goal is not to punish families. Our goal is to partner with you. We understand that life happens and that students sometimes need to be absent. However, consistent attendance is essential for academic success, relationships, and staying connected to school.

We want your child here. Attendance matters. Every day at Roosevelt is an opportunity to learn, grow, build relationships, and succeed.
