Scheduled Early Dismissal Day!!! #ProfessionalDevelopmentDay
Chronic absenteeism is defined as missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absences for any reason (both excused and unexcused absences). It can translate into students having a difficult time learning to read by the third grade, achieving in middle school, and graduating from high school. Every day a student is absent is a lost opportunity for learning.
What Can Families Do?
Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school and themselves. Families can start building this habit in preschool so they learn right away that students go to school on time, every day. Good attendance will help children do well in high school, college, and in their careers. Here are some suggestions:
Build regular routines for bedtime and the morning,
Set out clothes and pack backpacks the night before,
Pack lunches the night before,
If there is a reason that they aren't looking forward to school regularly, please reach out and let us know so we can address it,
Schedule trips when school is not in session when possible,
Schedule medical appointments after dismissal if possible, and
Talk about the importance of regular attendance and about how your child feels about school. Regular attendance helps to make and build connections with friends and staff. It also supports learning!
Linden City Schools will host a flu clinic for our students on September 26th. Participation can reduce outbreaks in your student's classroom, as well as in your student's school. Consent forms have been sent home with all students. Please fill out the entire form, including insurance/Medicaid information. If you want your student to receive a flu vaccine, and you did not receive a consent form, please contact the school nurse. Please turn in consent forms no later than Sept. 18, 2023. This vaccination covers the FLU only.
REMINDER : The deadline for alumni class participation fees to be paid is this Friday, September 15, 2023. Fees will not be accepted after this date...NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
Linden City Schools celebrate Grandparents Day!
While most parents want their children to succeed in school, many are unaware of the link between chronic absenteeism and academic success. Please read and share the following information to encourage and build attendance habits. ~Attendance Works
