How Parents Can Improve Student Attendance

• Let your child know that you believe school is important.

• Set a regular bedtime that is appropriate for your child's age.

• Provide a plan for getting your child to school on time.

• Do not support children leaving school early during the school day.

• Regularly check your child's attendance and academic progress with your child's teacher.

• Schedule all appointments for before or after school hours.

• View lateness as unacceptable behavior.

• Notify the schools as soon as possible if your child has a prolonged absence due to illness or hospitalization.

• Make sure excuse notes for all absences are returned within three days of your child coming back to school.
