School Attendance Matters: Stay Informed, Stay Engaged!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to our latest newsletter! As your school social worker, I am here to support both you and your child in making the most of their educational journey. One key aspect of a successful school experience is regular attendance, and we want to ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive in a consistent and supportive learning environment.

Why Attendance is Crucial

Regular school attendance is essential for students' academic success and overall development. When students are present, they have the chance to engage fully with their lessons, build relationships with their peers, and benefit from the resources and support our school provides.

What You Can Do

Communicate: If your child is experiencing difficulties that are affecting their ability to attend school regularly, please let us know. We are here to help and can connect you with resources or support.

Encourage: Support your child in developing good habits around school attendance. Establish routines, ensure they get enough rest, and talk about the importance of their education.

Reach Out: If you have any questions or need assistance, do not hesitate to contact the school. We are here to work with you to find solutions and support your family.
