Going to School Every Day Is the First Step Toward Student Success

Here are some helpful tips to support strong attendance:

1. Set a Consistent Routine: Establish a regular bedtime and morning routine to make getting to school easier and less stressful.
2. Prepare the Night Before: Lay out clothes, pack backpacks, and prepare lunches the night before to avoid morning rush and delays.
3. Schedule Appointments Wisely: Try to schedule doctor or dentist appointments after school hours or during breaks whenever possible.
4. Stay on Top of Health: Encourage good hygiene, healthy eating, and regular sleep to prevent avoidable sick days.
5. Know the School Calendar: Keep track of school holidays and plan vacations during official breaks—not during school days.
6. Talk About the Importance of Attendance: Help your child understand that showing up every day helps them learn, build friendships, and stay on track.
7. Reach Out for Support: If you’re facing challenges getting your child to school, connect with school staff. We’re here to help!
