Joe Norton Asst. This site was created by Jim Vennemeyer with Art Work By Rachel Boggs . We understand that families consider many things when making a decision to take their children out of school for vacation.
Good attendance sets the tone for success in the classroom.
When children are out, some of them will probably have no trouble making up work. As I am sure you know from talking with your child, every day there are group activities, group problem solving, and hands on learning done in the classroom. Not being at school to participate in these activities leaves a real gap in the learning process. Furthermore, even though our teachers plan ahead, it is very difficult for them to send written work. We must make it the responsibility of the parent to check with teachers both before and after the trip to help keep the child on track with his or her work.
