Dear Families,
I hope this letter finds you and your family well. As we continue to strive for academic excellence, I would like to take a moment to emphasize the critical importance of regular school attendance and its significant influence on your child's academic achievement.
Consistent attendance is foundational to your child's success in school. When students attend school regularly, they are more likely to engage fully in classroom activities, develop strong relationships with their teachers and peers, and keep up with their coursework. Here are several key reasons why regular attendance is essential:
- Academic Achievement: Regular attendance allows students to participate in daily learning activities, receive timely instruction, and engage in discussions that enhance their understanding of the material. Missing school means missing out on valuable learning experiences that can hinder academic progress.
- Skill Development: The school environment provides opportunities for students to develop important skills, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork. These skills are best acquired through consistent practice and active participation in class.
- Social and Emotional Growth: School is not just a place for academic learning; it is also a social community where students build friendships, learn social skills, and gain emotional support. Regular attendance helps students feel more connected and engaged with their school community.
- Long-Term Success: Studies have shown a strong correlation between regular school attendance and higher graduation rates. Students who attend school consistently are more likely to complete their education and pursue higher education or enter the workforce with the skills they need to succeed.
We understand that there are times when absences are unavoidable due to illness or family emergencies. However, we encourage you to prioritize your child's attendance and work with us to minimize any disruptions to their education. If your child is experiencing challenges that affect their attendance, please reach out to our school staff. We are here to support you and provide resources to help ensure your child can attend school regularly. Thank you for your commitment to your child's education and for partnering with us to ensure their academic success. Together, we can make a positive impact on their future.
Warm regards,
Jeff Mlsna
