Every Minute Counts!
Arrive by 7:45 to Be There for the Bell.
Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school — and themselves. Start building this habit in preschool and through elementary school so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day, is important.
What parents can do?
• Set a regular bedtime and morning routine.
• Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
• Keep your child healthy and make sure your child gets good sleep.
• Develop backup plans for getting to school if something comes up.
• Try to schedule non-urgent medical appointments and extended trips when school isn’t in session.
• If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to the teacher and school counselor for help.
• If you are concerned that your child may have a contagious illness, call Nurse Jay or your health-care provider for advice.
Partial Absences: Late arrivals or early pick ups over 15 minutes are documented as Unexcused Partial Absences, unless a medical excuse is submitted within two days.
Medical Excuses: Absences or partial absences due to medical appointments are fully excused with proper documentation.
Our Attendance Clerk accepts emailed documentation (parent notes/medical excuses) at Rae.Turnbull@ccisd.us. Please note that a maximum of five parent notes are accepted.
