Take an assessment of where your student is halfway through the school year and learn what you can do to help. 

• The Danger Zone (7-9 Absences): There is a good chance your child has fallen behind academically. Develop a plan with the school to help your child get to school on time and attend regularly.

• The Warning Zone (4-6 Absences): Your child's learning may be affected. Pay special attention to make sure your child is keeping up with the work.

• 0-3 Absences: The Satisfactory Zone (0-3 absences): Your child has good attendance. Celebrate and make a goal with your child to have even better attendance.

Please partner with us to ensure your student attends regularly and is successful in school. We know students may be absent from school for a variety of reasons. Our attendance office, school nurse, administrators, counselors, and teachers are prepared to help if your student is unable to make it to school regularly or on time.

We will track attendance daily, document when your student is missing from class, communicate with you to understand why the absence occurred, and identify barriers and supports available to overcome challenges you may face in helping your student attend school.
