As a small school, every child absent significantly impacts our school's chronic absenteeism rate because each child represents a more significant percentage of our population than other schools. The advantage our children get from having smaller class sizes can be negatively impacted by each absence they have. We aim to have students here in school as often as possible so they can benefit most from their education. Students who reach 18 or more absences in a single school year are considered chronically absent.

Here are some resources to help support your child during homework. These are not designed to provide answers, but to help students who may struggle gain a better understanding through finding the explanation behind the answers when they get stuck or confused. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. I can be reached at shenry@beachhavenschool.com.

• Make A Plan: Families may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to create plans that outline how they will contact each other during an emergency.
• Build a Kit: Assemble emergency kits containing essential supplies like water, non-perishable food, first aid supplies, flashlights, batteries, and important documents. Ensure these kits are easily accessible and periodically updated.
• Ready Kids: Engage students in age-appropriate preparedness activities. Utilize FEMA’s “Ready Kids” resources to teach children about emergency planning.
• Pet Preparedness: Pets are important members of families too, so they need to be included when making a plan.
