Mark down the following days that students DO NOT have school this year:
April 17th
It is important that your child attends school on time, every day.
The NKC SCHOOL BOARD POLICY states:
When a child is enrolled in NKC Schools, the North Kansas City Schools Board of Education expects:
1. The student to attend school regularly.
2. Parents/guardians of the student to communicate regularly with the office staff regarding the student’s absences.
3. Every student should strive for 95% or above attendance. (State guidelines deem attendance rates of 95% or better as necessary for optimal learning).
OTHER IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE INFORMATION:
1. If your child is not maintaining attendance above 93%, you will be notified immediately. If the attendance keeps dropping, Nashua staff/administration will reach out and ask you to come to the school for a meeting to discuss attendance concerns and complete an attendance contract.
2. If your student’s attendance continues to fall, the school is required by state law to report all instances of educational neglect, including poor school attendance, to Missouri Child Abuse and Neglect hotline.
3. Regular attendance and punctuality help students develop and maintain a good attitude toward school and relate positively toward school achievement. Tardiness and absences can be upsetting for students, disrupting their schedules, requiring readjustment to the class routine, and interfering with learning. Even missing just a couple days here and there can negatively impact a students' learning progression.
Please make your child's attendance a priority this year. We appreciate your help in ensuring your child is at school on time, every day!
