my child`s attendance goals

MY CHILD’S
ATTENDANCE GOALS
To improve my child’s attendance, I can
commit to the following:
• My child was present
days.
• My child was absent
days.
• My child’s current attendance
rate is
%.
• My goal for next year is to
improve my child’s attendance
by
%.
1.
2.
3.
We will review progress to meet this goal at the next Parent Teacher Conferences.
POSSIBLE STRATEGIES TO REACH YOUR CHILD’S ATTENDANCE GOALS
• I will keep an an attendance chart at home. At the end of the week, I will reward my child
for attending school every day with
.
(i.e. a visit to the park, a new book, a break from doing chores, a special treat)
• I will make sure my child is in bed by
p.m. and the alarm clock is set for
a.m.
• If my child consistently complains of a stomach ache or head ache, I will send him/ her
to school anyway and call Counselor
so that he/she can check in with
him/ her during the school day.
• If my child has a cold but no fever (less than 100 degrees), I will send him/ her to school
anyway. If I don’t have a thermometer, I will purchase or borrow one.
• I will find a relative, friend, or neighbor who can take my child to school if I can’t make it
or if he/ she missed the bus.
• If my child is absent, I will contact his/her teacher to find out how he/she can make up
missed schoolwork.
• I will set up medical and dental appointments for weekdays after 3:30 p.m.
