Attendance Matters at Hubenak

Helpful Tips for Awesome Attendance!!

Remind your child that school is their first and most important job!

Communicate the importance of regular attendance to your child, so they are hearing the same thing we are saying at school.

If your student is running a 100 degree fever or more, vomiting, or has diarrhea, they need to be kept at home. If they do not have any of these symptoms, please send them!

Avoid extended vacations that require your child to miss school. Try to line up vacations with the school’s schedule.

Please schedule doctor’s appointments during school vacations or after school.

Did you know?

Missing only an average of 2 days a month negatively affects academic

performance.

Poor attendance can influence whether

students read on grade level by the end of 3rd

grade

Student Absences:

• When students regularly miss school, they miss out on fundamental reading and math skills and the chance to build good attendance habits for the future.
