Please ensure your child is attending school on a regular basis as absences directly affect instruction. We. That you send a note after every absence explaining the reason, even if it is unexcused for documentation purposes. You are allowed to email your excuse to the teacher, Mrs. Means, or myself.
WHEN DO ABSENCES BECOME A PROBLEM?
Chronic absences= 15 or more
Warning Signs= 10-15 days
Satisfactory= 9 or fewer
What can you do?
Set regular bed time and morning routines.
Lay out clothes the night before/ pack packs
Don't let your child stay home unless they are truly sick. Keep in mind that complaints of headache or stomach ache can be a sign of anxiety and not a reason to stay home. ( if your child is experiencing this- please contact me so I may assist you)
