Attendance at Carlinville Primary School
At Carlinville Primary School, we place a high priority on regular attendance as it is crucial for academic success and overall student well-being. Consistent attendance ensures that students can fully engage in learning activities, build important social skills, and develop habits that will serve them throughout their lives.
Importance of Attendance:
Regular attendance is directly linked to academic achievement. When students attend school consistently, they are more likely to succeed academically and achieve their full potential.
Attendance also plays a significant role in building positive peer relationships and developing social skills. By participating in daily classroom activities and group projects, students
learn valuable collaboration and communication skills.
Attendance Policies:
Our attendance policies are designed to support student success while promoting a culture of responsibility and accountability. Key points of our attendance policy include:
-
Regular Attendance: Students are expected to attend school daily and arrive on time for classes.
Excused Absences: Absences due to illness, medical appointments, family emergencies, or religious observances are considered excused. Please notify the school office in advance or as soon as possible if your child will be absent. - Unexcused Absences: Absences not covered by a valid excuse may impact academic progress and may be subject to review by school administration.
Reporting Absences:
Parents or guardians are required to notify the school office by phone or email on the day of their child's absence. Please provide the following information:
- Student's full name
- Date of absence
- Reason for absence
- Parent/guardian contact information
Support for Families:
We understand that occasional absences due to illness or other unavoidable circumstances may occur. Our school provides resources and support to help families ensure their child's continued academic progress during absences. Please contact your child's teacher or the school office for assistance with missed assignments or educational materials.
Promoting Positive Attendance:
We encourage parents and guardians to emphasize the importance of regular attendance with their children. Establishing routines and discussing the value of attending school every day can help students develop a strong sense of responsibility and commitment to their education.
