School Attendance: A Key to Success

East is dedicated to improving and monitoring our students attendance each and every day! We are doing this through two new initiatives: Automated Call System and Attendance Intervention Team.

One of the most important things you can do for your child to help them be successful in school is to make sure they attend school every day!

In fact, research has show that your child's attendance record may be the biggest influence on his or her academic success!

Benefits of daily attendance:

Achievement: students who attend regularly are more likely to pass reading and math assessments

Opportunity: Being in school is how students find out about college, job and career opportunities.

It Sends a Message: Your commitment to your child being in school everyday, sends a message to your child that education is a priority in your family.

Connections: Just by being here everyday, your child is learning how to be a good citizen, learning valuable social skills, and developing connections to the staff and students here at East.
