Attendance Report 

Dear Parents and Carers,

TIPS FOR FAMILIES TO SUPPORT SCHOOL ATTENDANCE 

Support your child to be successful in school

Help your child understand that school is their very first job

• Make great school attendance a priority for your child
• Talk to your child about the importance of daily attendance in every class and how it helps his/her learning
• When students miss so much school they will not be prepared for things like; Kindergarten, learning to read by the third grade, failing courses in high school and getting a job they enjoy 

Help your child develop good habits 

• Help your child practice good daily habits like:
  • finishing homework and placing it in his/her backpack
  • laying out clothes and the backpack in the evening
  • having a regular bedtime for a good night's sleep
  • leaving early enough in the morning to get to school on time
  • turn off electronic devices one hour before bedtime
• Help your child build responsibility skills by reminding them to make up any missed school work after an absence.

Kind Regards,

Aira Agarano
