 Attendance Awareness: The Key to Student Success!

We're excited to share with you informative infographics that break down the various attendance notices you might receive from our school and/or district and the various terms used in them. No more deciphering hieroglyphics on these notices!


Understanding terms like "Truancy," "Unexcused Absences," and "SART" can make your life a whole lot easier. These infographics are your go-to guides, and the notices help you stay informed and on top of your child's school attendance.


But here's the key takeaway: Regular school attendance is essential for your child's academic success. Consistent attendance helps them build crucial skills and knowledge, so they can reach their full potential. 


So, take a moment to check out the infographics, because every day matters! Thank you for your partnership in ensuring that every student has the best chance for success.
