Tips to Improve Your Child's Attendance

Ultimately, parents are responsible for getting their children to school. Here are a few tips to consider:

• If your child is ill, email the Attendance Clerk the first morning of their absence.
• Arrive to school on time and attend every class period.
• Make school attendance a habit. This can carry over when seeking employment.
• Make sure your child’s job does not require working during the school day or after 10 p.m. on school nights.
• Ask for help from your campus counselor if you are having trouble with your child.
