Dear Parent/Guardian,
Attendance is one of the most powerful predictors of academic achievement and having your student in their seat, ready to learn for the entire school day will benefit them, their classmates, and our whole school community. Let’s work together to make sure your child has great attendance and can get the most out of their learning opportunities this school year.
OUR PROMISE TO YOU
We know that there are a wide variety of reasons that students are absent from school, from health concerns to transportation challenges. There are many people in our building prepared to help you if you or your student face challenges in getting to school regularly or on time. We promise to track attendance daily, to notice when your student is missing from class, communicate with you to understand why they were absent, and to identify barriers and supports available to overcome challenges you may face in helping your student attend school.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
If your student is going to be absent, please contact the school in advance. If an absence was unplanned, please contact the school within two school days of your student’s return.
School of Engineering and Arts Elementary school hours 9:15 am - 3:35 pm.
Tardy: arrival between 9:25 am - 10:25 am; Early Release: leaving between 2:35 pm - 3:35 pm; Partial Day Absence: 1 - 3 hours or 5 tardies; Full Day Absence: more than 3 hours or 10 tardies.
HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
- Send your child to school unless they are truly sick, such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or a contagious rash.
- Avoid appointments and travel when school is in session.
- Keep track of your child’s attendance using Infinite Campus or another method.
- Set a regular bedtime and morning routine (including limiting how late your child may use any electronic devices) and finish homework and pack backpacks the night before.
- Have a back-up plan for getting to school in case something comes up (this could be alternative bus routes, roads, or a plan with family members, neighbors, or other parents).
- Communicate with the school about how we can work together to support your child’s attendance.
- Attendance Line: 763-504-7210 please report absence for the day by 10am
