🧤🌲As we celebrate the holiday season and battle the inevitable cold and flu season, we want to emphasize the crucial role that regular school attendance plays in your child's academic success. 🖍 Research consistently shows that students who attend school regularly perform better academically than those with chronic absenteeism, providing a solid foundation for future achievement. 📝📓

✨ Here are some actionable tips to help prioritize attendance even in the face of controllable factors: ✨
▪️ Plan Vacations Strategically: Consider planning trips during school breaks or weekends to avoid unnecessary disruptions to your child's education.
▪️ Communicate: Identifying & addressing issues early can prevent prolonged absences.
▪️ Schedule Appointments Strategically: Whenever possible, try to schedule routine appointments outside of school hours or during breaks.
▪️ Utilize Support Services: Take advantage of the support services offered by our district.
