IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!
Everyday Counts! Attendance Matters!
- Good attendance makes often correlates positively to good academics. Students do not learn when they are absent. Missing critical instruction can quickly cause students to fall behind
rapidly.
- Parents are allowed 5 parent excuses per year. Always send in your child's excuses, doctor notes, or upload them in PowerSchool.
- Students are considered truant when they have more than ten (10) excused or unexcused absences.
- It is important for students to also arrive to school on time and stay for the entire day!
- If students signed out before noon, it means that they are considered absent for the entire day.
- The goal is for students to miss no more than 7 days per year if they are enrolled for the entire 180 days of school. This means they will have been present more than 96% of days enrolled. Absent 91% - 95% of days enrolled is cause for concern. If a child misses more than 10% of days enrolled, this begins to negatively impact them academically.
