Handouts for Families
Parents want their children to do well in school but many don’t fully understand the connection between chronic absence and a student’s academic achievement. Hand out these flyers to help build the habit of attendance!
Health-related absences can often be avoided. Go to our Health Handouts page to download flyers on Anxiety and When to Send a Student to School with a minor illness, or after being sick.
We are regularly updating these handouts to respond to changes and we are open to feedback. Please look at the date on the handout so you know you have the most up-to-date version. Make sure to communicate clearly with your families about health policies, including any related to Covid-19. Check out our blog post to learn more.
