PARENT/STUDENT TIPS FOR IMPROVING ATTENDANCE
• Set a regular bed time and morning routine
• Lay out clothes, pack backpacks, school lunches, etc. the night before
• Send child to school every day unless they are truly sick ie., running a fever, blisters in back of throat, mysterious rash, etc. Always remember, we have a school nurse for minor symptoms.
• Develop back up plans for getting to school if something unexpected comes up. Call on a family member, a neighbor, or another parent
• Utilize the school bus to improve tardy issues
• Schedule all possible appointments around school. Don’t miss an entire day for a local appt.
• Make sure to make arrangements to get make-up work ASAP when a student has to miss school
