A: Keep Reviewing Your Child's Attendance Records. It is important to monitor your child’s attendance and stay in communication with the school to ensure that you are informed about your child’s attendance history.
Minimize Instructional Time Lost by scheduling any appointments (doctor, dentist, etc.) outside of school hours.
Send a Note. For an excused absence, you must send a note to the campus that describes the reason for the absence within two school days of your child returning to school.
Get to know Your Child’s Teachers. Ask questions about their classes, how they arrive at assigning grades, homework policies and make-up work procedures. Attend parent-teacher conferences; they will help you stay informed about your child’s progress.
Make-Up Work and Passing Grades. If your child is absent for any reason, including extracurricular activities, be sure the assigned make-up work is completed. Submitting missed assignments due to absences will help maintain eligibility for extracurricular activities as well as a student’s GPA.
