At Valley View , we believe that partnering with families is the best solution for achieving student success! Please review the tips below, as we partner together to help your student build positive attendance habits!
Please plan vacations that align with the PUSD Instructional Calendar and avoid extended vacations that require your student to miss school. The same goes for doctor’s appointments.
For younger children, you can set a regular bedtime and morning routine. Make sure they get 9 to 11 hours of sleep. You can lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
For older children, you can help them develop homework and bedtime routines that allow for 8 ½ to 9 ½ hours of sleep. Make sure that when the lights go out, so do the cell phones, video games and computers.
Get to know our teachers and administrators. Keep in contact with your student’s teachers throughout the school-year. Remember, school success starts with relationships in the classroom. We are here to partner with your child in their educational journey.
Help your student understand the positive link between school attendance and academic success, social connections, and improved emotional well-being.
Ask for help from the school when needed and visit the PUSD Wellness page for support!
Above all, set a positive example for your student. Show your student that attendance matters to you! We appreciate your partnership in building positive habits!
