🌨️ Attendance During Winter 🌨️
Rainy, foggy weather and seasonal illnesses like colds can impact school attendance. Even excused absences can add up, leading to lower grades and test scores. To help your child succeed, here are 2 tips to minimize absences:
 
1️⃣ Plan Ahead for Winter Weather
Create a backup plan for getting your child to school on rainy or foggy days.😶‍🌫️☔️
Coordinate with other families or start a “walking school bus” to ensure safe travel. 🚗
 
2️⃣ Keep Your Child Healthy
Dress them warmly with hats and gloves.🧤
Encourage frequent handwashing and send hand sanitizer to school.🧼
If your child feels unwell, consult a doctor or school nurse to decide when it’s okay to return.🥼
