A fun website that focuses on attendance and other ways to be successful in school

Even if your student’s absences are excused, your child is still missing crucial instruction which can cause extra stress and pressure on the student, the teacher, and the class.
Good attendance is an important life skill that will help your child graduate from college and keep a job.
Studies show that students should miss no more than 9 days of school each year to stay engaged, successful and on track for graduation.
Absences can be a sign that a student is losing interest in school, struggling with school work, dealing with a bully, or facing some other potentially serious difficulty.

Talk about the importance of showing up to school everyday, make that the expectation.
Try not to schedule dental and medical appointments during the school day.
Don’t let your child stay home unless truly sick. Complaints of headaches or stomach aches may be signs of anxiety.
Know the school’s attendance policy.
Find out if your child feels engaged by his or her classes and/or feels safe from bullies and other threats.
Check regularly on your child’s attendance to be sure absences are not piling up.
Help your child maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep.
