Practical Tips
Here are some practical tips for parents to support regular school attendance.
Make sure your student keeps a regular bedtime and establish a morning routine.
Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
Ensure your student goes to school every day unless he/she is truly sick.
Avoid scheduling vacations or doctor’s appointments when school is in session. If you have to schedule an appointment during a school day, please try to only take your child out of school for the actual appointment.
Talk to teachers and counselors for advice if your student feels anxious about going to school.
Develop back-up plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call on a family member, neighbor, or another parent to take your student to school.
