As for any other test, make sure your child is at school every day on time, gets plenty of rest and eats a healthy breakfast.

We would like to thank Mrs. Anna Sanchez for the important information given to us at  our last ELAC meeting about the importance of school attendance.  Thank you!

Spanish.

Nuestro agradecimiento a la Sra. Anna Sánchez por la información que nos dio en la pasada jinta de ELAC acerca de la Importancia de la asistencia escolar.  Mil gracias!

“The attendance rate is important because students are more likely to succeed in academics when they attend school consistently. It’s difficult for the teacher and the class to build their skills and progress if a large number of students are frequently absent. In addition to falling behind in academics, students who are not in school on a regular basis are more likely to get into trouble with the law and cause problems in their communities.”
