Did you know... 

• Regular school attendance has a significant impact on student academic success starting as early as kindergarten.
• Poor attendance can influence whether children read proficiently by the end of third grade. 
• By 6th grade, chronic absence becomes a leading indicator that a student will drop out of high school.

Families play a key role in reducing chronic absenteeism by getting students to school on time every day. Here are a few ways to help ensure good attendance for your students. 

• Establish regular evening and morning routines
• Send your student to school every day unless they are truly sick
• Schedule appointments and vacation during school breaks or outside of school hours
• Have a backup plan to get your student to school in case of unexpected events 
• Monitor your student’s attendance with Aeries 

Remember, we are here to help. Reach out to your student’s teacher, principal, or the office manager if you need support getting your student to school on time every day.

Spanish: 

Sabia usted que...

• La asistencia regular a la escuela tiene un impacto significativo en el éxito académico de los estudiantes desde el jardín de infantes.
• La baja asistencia puede influir en si los niños leen de manera competente al final del tercer grado.
• Para el sexto grado, la ausencia crónica se convierte en un indicador principal de que un estudiante abandonará la escuela secundaria.

Las familias juegan un papel clave en la reducción del absentismo crónico al llevar a los estudiantes a la escuela a tiempo todos los días. Aquí hay algunas maneras de ayudar a asegurar una buena asistencia para su estudiante.

• Establecer rutinas regulares de tarde y mañana
• Envíe a su estudiante a la escuela todos los días a menos que esté realmente enfermo
• Programe citas y vacaciones durante las vacaciones escolares o fuera del horario escolar
• Tenga un plan de respaldo para llevar a su estudiante a la escuela en caso de eventos inesperados
• Monitoree la asistencia de su estudiante con Aeries

Recuerde, estamos aquí para ayudar. Comuníquese con el maestro, el director o la secretaria de la oficina de su estudiante si necesita ayuda para llevar a su estudiante a la escuela a tiempo todos los días.

您可知道....

• 定期上學對學生的學業成功有重大的影響，早在從幼稚園開始。
• 出勤率低會影響到兒童的閱讀能力，在三年級末就能分辨得出來。
• 到六年級時，長期缺課的學生成為了將來在高中輟學的首要徵兆。

家庭扮演一個減少學生長期缺課的關鍵角色，通過每天準時讓學生上學。這裡有一些方法可以幫助確保學生的出勤率。

• 建立定期的晚上和早晨程序
• 除非他們真的生病，否則每天都將您的學生送往學校
• 把醫生約見和家庭旅遊安排在學校假期或下課后的時間
• 安排後備計劃，以便在發生突發事件時您的學生能繼續上學
• 通過Aeries家長戶口監控學生的出勤情況

請記住，我們在這里為您提供幫助。如果您需要支援幫助學生每天準時上學，請與您學生的老師，校長或辦公室經理聯繫。
