School Attendance Reminders

Attendance is a parent, student, and school responsibility. Talk about the importance of showing up to school on time every day. Show your child you are interested in their school activities and tell them you want them to do well. Remember, attending school regularly helps children feel better about school--and themselves, too! Start building this habit early, so they learn immediately that going to school on time every day is important.
