As the holiday season approaches and we battle the inevitable cold and flu season, we want to highlight the important role regular school attendance plays in your child's academic success. πŸ–οΈResearch consistently shows that students who attend school regularly perform better academically than those with chronic absenteeism, providing a solid foundation for future achievement. πŸ“πŸ““

✨ Here are some actionable tips to help prioritize attendance even in the face of controllable factors: ✨

β–ͺ️ Plan Vacations Strategically: Consider planning trips during school breaks or weekends to avoid unnecessary disruptions to your child's education.
β–ͺ️ Communicate: Identifying & addressing issues early can prevent prolonged absences.
β–ͺ️ Schedule Appointments Strategically: Whenever possible, try to schedule routine appointments outside of school hours or during breaks.
β–ͺ️ Utilize Support Services: Take advantage of the support services offered by our district.
