Learning Diversity 

Every Day Counts

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we progress through the school year, we want to emphasise a critical factor in your child's academic success: attendance. Every day your child is in school, they gain new knowledge, develop necessary social skills, and build habits that will serve them throughout their lives. That's why we believe that every day counts!

Students who attend school regularly are more likely to:

• Build positive habits: Consistent attendance helps students develop a routine, fostering discipline and responsibility.
• Develop strong social connections: Being in school allows students to form friendships and collaborate with their peers, which is crucial for their social development.
• Prepare for future success: Good attendance habits established in school are carried into adulthood, leading to success in higher education and the workplace.

As parents and guardians, you play a vital role in ensuring your child attends school regularly. Here are a few tips to help you support good attendance:

• Set a regular bedtime and morning routine to help your child get enough rest and be ready for school each day.
• Encourage your child by expressing the importance of education and how it impacts their future.
• Schedule appointments outside of school hours whenever possible.
• Stay informed by communicating with teachers and school staff about your child’s attendance and any concerns you may have.
• Reach out for support if your family faces challenges that make it difficult for your child to attend school regularly. We are here to help connect you with resources.

Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in your child’s education.
