Unlock Your Child's Potential: Every Day Matters


Ready to give your child the best chance at success? It all starts with regular school attendance! Every day in the classroom is a chance to learn, grow, and connect. Don't let your child miss out on valuable learning experiences.

Why Attendance Matters:

  • Building a Strong Foundation: Early learning is key! Regular attendance in elementary school sets the stage for future academic success.
  • Learning is Cumulative: Each lesson builds upon the last. Missing class means missing crucial building blocks.
  • Beyond the Books: School is more than just academics. It's where students develop friendships, teamwork skills, and discover their passions through clubs and sports.

Did You Know?

Missing just a few days of school each month adds up. Chronic absenteeism (10% or more of school days) has a significant impact on a child's future. We want to see every child thrive and achieve to their fullest potential.

Let's Work Together!

We encourage open communication between parents and their school. If your child is absent, please reach out to their teachers to stay on top of assignments. Together, we can ensure your child reaches their full potential. Let's make every day count!

Attendance Myths

MythBuster #1:

A green sticky note with the text: 'Excused absences don't count. All absences mean lost learning time.'
We understand that sometimes absences are unavoidable, and excused absences are certainly preferable.

However, it's important to remember that any missed class time can affect learning.

Even with an excused absence, students still miss out on valuable instruction and classroom discussions. We encourage families to work with us to minimize any disruptions to learning, even when absences are excused.

A strong start in elementary school is essential, building the foundations for future academic success.

Missing school in the early years can make it harder to keep up later on.

MythBuster #3:

It is easy to underestimate the impact of a few missed days. Even two days a month adds up quickly to 10% of the school year. Lost classroom time can mean missing core concepts and falling behind. 

Consistent attendance helps students stay on track and get the most out of their education.
