7. The first month matters…  Poor attendance in the first month of school can predict chronic absence for the entire year.  Chronic absenteeism can make it harder to learn to read and students can still fall behind if they miss a day or two every few weeks.

8. Attendance: Key to School Success  Some absences are unavoidable. The important thing is to get your child to school on time as often as possible.  You were provided a handout, What You Should Know About Attendance, in your first day of school packet that provides valuable information regarding our District attendance policy and intervention programs. This information is also included in our Annual Notification to Parent(s)/Guardian(s) that can be found on our District website www.ewcsd.org.
