Being at school is important! Students are learning many new foundational skills each day in 2nd grade. Missing school puts your child behind the rest of their class, and time needs to be found to catch them up (usually being during recess or Learning Lab time). Being at school gives your child more opportunities to learn. Please let your child's teacher know about any pre-planned absences so we can send some work so your child can keep up with his or her class.
Also, homeroom begins at 8:10, and class begins at 8:25. We get started with reading right away at 8:30, so it is important for your child to be on time so they don't miss the introductory lesson.
Please see the school's attendance policy for any further information.
