If there is a school event, show up with your child. You, as the parent have the power to control your child's attendance, including being on time. Poor attendance and tardiness directly affect a child's school success in numerous ways, emotionally as well as scholastically. Please understand that signing out is the same as being absent. Your child will miss vital instruction.
Instruction continues up until dismissal.
When you sign your child out unnecessarily, you are telling your child that school doesn't matter. Restrict sign outs to sickness of the child, or a true family emergency. Your homework continues as long as you are responsible for your child. Without your part, your child's school experience will not be all that it can be. Copyright 1998 Sybil Humphries.
