Dear Parents,
Students need to be in school every day to stay on track. Teachers’ lesson plans are carefully constructed to introduce new concepts, reinforce them with learning activities, and then move on to new skills and ideas. When children aren’t in school, they fall behind. And the more days they miss, the harder it is to catch up. That’s where you come in.
Report In.
Get the Work.
If your child is out unexpectedly, due to illness or other reasons, in addition to contacting the school attendance office, make arrangements with your child’s teachers to pick up a packet of work.
Religious Absences.
How Sick Is Too Sick?
Faking It?
Vacation Plans.
Check Those Appointments.
Finally, remember to show and tell your children that attendance is important—whether it’s as a child in school or as an adult on the job.

Book Fair Para mantenerse al día, los estudiantes deben asistir a la escuela todos los días. Las lecciones planificadas por los maestros están estructuradas de tal manera que introducen conceptos nuevos, éstos son reforzados con actividades de aprendizaje, y después siguen adelante con nuevas destrezas e ideas. Si los niños no se encuentran en la escuela, se atrasan. Mientras más días pierdan, más difícil será ponerse al día. Como padre, usted desempeña un papel muy importante. Informe a la escuela. Ausencias por razones de observaciones religiosas. Las enfermedades—ir a la escuela o quedarse en casa? ¿Está haciéndose el enfermo? Las vacaciones. Citas medicas y dentales. Finalmente, recuerde que usted debe demostrarle a sus niños que la asistencia a la escuela es importante—ya sea si se trata de un niño en la escuela o un adulto en un empleo. Usted les ayudará a tener éxito, tanto en la escuela como en la vida.

Date to Remember
Schedule your kids’ doctor and dental appointments for after-school or weekend hours unless there’s an emergency.It’s tempting to pull your kids from school for a family trip, but it’s a bad idea. Why? First, it gives your children the impression that their schooling is not your top priority. And when they miss classwork, even if you ask for make-up work to be sent home ahead of time, they can fall behind because they’re missing many hours of instructional time each day. If your child is complaining of a fever, but you’re suspicious, make sure to stay in the room the entire time the child’s temperature is being taken. Also, be alert if your child seems to be "sick" on school days but always rebounds for the weekend.It’s impossible to say categorically when a child should go to school or stay home. However, one typical guideline is that a child is usually fine to attend school if his or her fever is under 100° and there is no rash, "pink eye," nausea, or diarrhea. The decision to keep a child home from school is best made between you and your child’s health care provider. It is inevitable that some families’ important religious observances will fall on school days. Let your children’s teachers know early in the year precisely which days your children will not be attending. When you know ahead of time your child will be missing class,give the teachers plenty of notice so they can provide your child with makeup work to do.Schools are required to track attendance of every child in every classroom every day. It is essential that you always contact the school if your child is going to be late for class, will need an early dismissal, or will be absent.Keywords: SK Newsletter
