Attendance and Getting to School on Time Matter

posted 9/28/21 -- From the moment your child steps into his or her Head Start classroom, the day is carefully planned to maximize learning.

A healthy meal and a class meeting are two ways the teachers prepare the students for the day ahead. Being on time and present for both of these important daily components is key to a successful day in school.

Regular attendance is also critically important in our quest to build lifelong learners.

Preschool is a time for building the social, emotional, cognitive, and language skills needed for school readiness. Many of these skills build on one another so absent children may miss the foundational skills needed for the next skill.

Additionally, following the predicable daily routine helps to build confident and eager learners.

Help your child become a lifelong learner by getting him or her to school each day, on time.
