DID YOU KNOW?
Starting in preschool and kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school.
Students can fall behind if they miss just 1-2 days every few weeks
Being late to school may lead to poor attendance
Absences and tardiness can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help students catch up
What you can do!
Set a regular bedtime and morning routine
Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before
Keep your child healthy and make sure your child has the required shots
Try to schedule non-COVID-19 related medical appointments and extended trips when school isn't in session
Develop backup plans for getting to school if something comes up.
If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, the school counselor or administration for advice
