Tips for Good Attendance

• Get your child to school on time, every day, and stay all day!
• Give your child enough time to get ready for school in the morning.
• Monitor your child’s attendance through Skyward Family Access.
• Work with healthcare providers for appointments after school for non-emergency situations.
• Plan family vacations during non-school days.
• Follow proper guidelines for reporting excused absences in a timely manner.

What to do if your child refuses to go to school?

• Check report cards for absences, low conduct marks or grades.
• Call the school if you think your child has been skipping school or has been truant.
• If the school calls you, DO NOT COVER UP to get your students off the hook. You are only teaching them that there are no consequences for breaking rules.
  
  

Remember: Kids need parents who care enough to enforce rules and are available to provide help when it’s needed.
