Remember: Student Success begins with Attendance.

 

Regular school attendance develops habits of punctuality, self-discipline and responsibility in students. Students who attend school regularly generally achieve high grades, enjoy school more and are more employable after leaving school.  

 

To contact someone about Student Attendance, please call 254-3110
and ask for Angela Smith, Parent Liaison.

 

Help School No. 7 increase our Daily Attendance Rate to 95% and Reach our Goals of Excellence.  Our overall school attendance went up 2% last year.  Let's keep this going!!! 

 

Any student this year with Perfect Attendance will be included in an End of the Year Party and invited to our Year End Celebration at Altitude Trampoline Park.  To be invited you must have 0 unexcused and 0 excused absences.  That means attending ALL 182 days of school.      

You can do it! 

 

Stay healthy by eating balanced meals, washing your hands as often as possible, getting 9-11 hours of sleep each night and having consistent daily routines that allow you time to complete your school work each night.

 

  Parents/Guardians:  Please get to know the staff at school including teachers, administrators, support staff, secretaries, the parent liaison and bus driver.  This will assist in keeping you aware of any issues that your child may be facing and can lessen any anxieties your child may have about attending school.  Also, be sure the school has your current address and phone numbers where you can be reached.  Call the Main Office during school hours to have them updated when needed or send in a note with your child.

 

The Lifelong Impact of Low Attendance

There is a direct link between high absenteeism and low academic achievement, with chronic absenteeism

(2 absences or more a month) being the single strongest predictor of graduation rates.

 

The Cost of Low Attendance Includes:

• Lower Test Scores
• Lower GPA/Grades
• Reduced Graduation Rates
• Lower Paying Jobs
• Higher Reliance on Welfare Support
• Increased Likelihood of Living in Poverty
• Poorer Health
