School Absences and Tardiness

Greetings!

As I continue to work with families and various schools I have become increasingly concerned about truancy which means “illegal absence” from school.  I want to make certain you are aware of the importance of a child being in school every single day of the school year. Now of course if a child is sick there is only one place for them to be which is at home. There is no questioning that.  But barring any other reasons a child not attending school on a regular basis not only places them at an academic disadvantage, but did you know it is also a form of neglect?

Regular attendance is a must, and so is being on time.  Tardiness counts against your child’s academic record, were you aware?  So it’s important that your child realizes the importance of both regular attendance and getting to class on time.

Of course “Single And ApParent” goes far more into detail regarding some of the effects of unsatisfactory school attendance so I hope you have your copy for reference.  If you haven’t yet ordered, do so today. The information provided in this little book will prove valuable in your life as a single parent.

So with the new week beginning tomorrow, if you haven’t already done so committ to getting your children to school on time everyday, and make certain they are getting themselves to class on time every day.  If your child is in high school the same rules should apply. There’s never an exception to rules when it comes to the necessary building blocks for a successful school year.

Ask any questions and share your comments.

Peace~
