COMMUNITY OPPORTUNITIES

STUDENT ATTENDANCE AND PROCEDURES

Student Attendance and Attendance Procedures

Parents, one of the biggest ways you can help your child succeed this school year is to make sure your child gets to school, on time, each and every day. The evidence is clear: children with good attendance are more likely to be successful in school. High attendance rates are linked to high student achievement. Every day counts, and missing school even 10% of the time has a significant negative impact on reading and math achievement as children progress through school. I want to ask for your commitment to making sure your child attends school every day possible this year.

When your child does have to be absent from school, we ask that you communicate with us about the absence. When your child will be absent, you have two communication options:

1. Call Mrs. Aronson in the main office at 262-348-7000 to speak with her and/or leave a message.
2. New this year, you may login to Powerschool to record the reason for your child’s absence. Please see the directions linked here.

We also ask that you let us know about pre-planned absences, including vacations and doctor appointments, ahead of time. When missing school for an appointment, it is always encouraged that you get documentation of your visit to provide to the school as verification. When leaving for an extended vacation, we also ask that you complete the planned absence request form linked here.

Lastly, please also note, as a school, we are required to track student attendance and support families with any attendance issues or concerns. Our highest priority is to have students at school, and we are willing to help in any way we can. As a parent, it is important to understand the current attendance laws stated below:  

• A parent or guardian may only excuse their child/children 10 days during the school year. After these 10 days, an absence can only be excused if the school is provided with a note from a doctor, dentist, court, etc. The same guidelines apply for excessive tardies.

• Once a student has been absent for 10 days (excused or unexcused), parents/guardians will receive a letter, noting the absences as well as procedures for next steps to improve attendance

Thank you in advance for your commitment and support to your child’s attendance this school year.

School attendance is very important, and we encourage families to make sure their children are in school as much as possible. However, children who are sick need to stay home for their well-being and to prevent others from becoming sick.

MAIN OFFICE CHECK-IN PROCEDURE

Main Office Check-In Procedure:

In an effort to continue safety procedures and protocols, Star Center is asking that all visitors enter the building using the main entrance. Please note that if a visitor is wishing to enter the building, go to the classroom, etc. Ms. Aronson and Ms. Donahue will ask for a driver's license to be handed to them upon arrival. They will then exchange the driver's license for a visitor's pass to indicate to staff and students that the person wearing the visitor's pass is allowed in the school building. We appreciate your understanding of this new procedure as we continue to do what we can to ensure the safety of all students and staff at Star Center.
