Attendance Matters

I ran across this article from The Parent Institute the other day and thought it would be a good refresher to share with our school community regarding why attendance at school matters.

"Your child's teachers will do their best to help your child learn and succeed in school. But there's one thing only you can do - get him or her to school every day. Children who don't attend school regularly fall behind and score lower on tests. They can have a hard time making and keeping friends - especially in elementary school.
Show your child and his/her teachers that you know attendance counts:
*Tell your child how important school is.
*Make dental and other appointments during non-school hours when possible.
*Don't let your child skip school for reasons that wouldn't prevent you from going to work.
*Avoid taking your child out of school on exam days.
*Keep track of your child's absences. See if there are any patterns that need to be changed.
*Discuss the consequences of missing school. Not understanding. Needing to do make-up work. Missing out on friends.
*Talk to the teacher if your child regularly doesn't want to go to school."

This is going to be another great year at Rose Creek! I look forward to seeing familiar families and meeting our new ones. Please let me know of your concerns, questions, and comments so that our school community can continue to excel!
