Parent Tip of the week:  Student Attendance

2/7/2020

0 Comments

 
Have you ever wondered how to get your child to really come to school every day, no matter what? Some absences are unavoidable. We understand that children will get sick and need to stay home occasionally. And if your child does have an illness, they need to stay home for the safety of students and staff, and so that they get better. The important thing is to get your children to school as often as possible.

But sometimes children will miss so many days of school that it impacts their learning.  Did you know that sporadic absences, not just those on consecutive days of school, matter. Before you know it – just one or two days a month can add up to nearly 10 percent of the school year.  Attendance matters as early as kindergarten. Studies show many children who miss too many days in kindergarten and first grade can struggle academically in later years. They often have trouble mastering reading by the end of third grade.    By middle and high school, chronic absence is a leading warning sign that a student will drop out. 

Have honest conversations with your child about attendance.  Let them know that
  • School is their first and most important job.
  • You’re learning about more than math and reading. You’re learning how to show up for school on time every day, so that when you graduate and get a job, you’ll know how to show up for work on time every day.
  •  Students who attend school regularly are more likely to graduate and find good jobs. In fact, a high school graduate makes, on average, a million dollars more than a dropout over a lifetime. •
  • School only gets harder when you stay home too much. Sometimes it’s tempting to stay home because you’ve got too much work or you don’t understand what’s going on in class. But missing a day only makes that worse.
Reach out to the school if you need help encouraging your child to come to school, and help us discover ways to make school a more welcoming place for your child to want to be!
