Handouts for Families

Parents Can Build the Habit of Good Attendance

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!

We are regularly updating these handouts to respond to changes related to the pandemic 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 (October or November, 2021). Make sure to communicate clearly with your families about Covid-19 policies. Check out our blog post to learn more.

Download many of these handouts translated into Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog and Vietnamese.
