The Importance of Attendance
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we embark on another exciting school year, I want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of student attendance and its impact on your child’s success. Our school has set an attendance goal of 96%, and we need your support to achieve it!
Why Attendance Matters: Regular attendance is crucial for your child's academic growth and social development. Here are a few key reasons why:
- Research shows that students who attend school regularly perform better academically. Every day of instruction is vital, and missing even a few days can hinder progress.
- School is not just about learning from textbooks; it’s also where friendships and social skills are developed. Regular attendance helps children form strong connections with their peers and teachers.
- Consistent attendance helps establish a daily routine, which is essential for young learners. It promotes a sense of security and discipline that can benefit them throughout their education.
Strategies to Support Attendance: We understand that life can sometimes get in the way of consistent attendance. Here are some tips to help ensure your child is in school every day:
- Set a Consistent Routine
- Communicate with Teachers
- Celebrate Attendance
Recognizing Achievement
To reward our students’ hard work, we will be implementing monthly attendance celebrations. Classes with the highest attendance will receive special recognition, and individual students will have the opportunity to earn fun incentives.
Together, we can ensure our students are present and engaged every school day. If you have any questions or concerns regarding attendance, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you for your continued support in making our school a great place for all students!
