Let’s get the message out to parents that when their child misses school for any reason, valuable learning is lost that can’t be repeated. Tips for Parents include:
  • Talk with your child about developing good attendance habits while in school. Future employers will not accept excuses for frequent tardies or absences.
  • Realize that extended vacations or long weekends will cause your child to fall behind in class.
  • Emphasize with your child that every day in school raises the chances of scoring well on tests, which could lead to better opportunities for college admission and scholarships.
For a complete list of parent tips at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, call (619) 725-5598 or visit www.sandi.net/programs/everydaycounts. Flyers are available in seven languages.

The Every Day Counts! campaign is supported by a grant from the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
