MCCSC ATTENDANCE

We realize that students are sometimes ill, and we certainly do not want them sent to school in such cases. Please contact your school's office to let us know that your child will not attend that day. If your child has a chronic health condition that will impact school attendance, please contact your school nurse and social worker to discuss your particular situation. If your child is required to have a doctor's statement due to chronic absences and you believe the illness does not warrant a doctor's office visit, you may bring your child to your school's health office to determine if your child should be in school.
Older students who develop patterns of willfully refusing to attend school may be referred to the Monroe County Juvenile Probation Department for truancy intervention.

School
social workers work to help eliminate barriers that keep students
from being successful. One of the barriers is untimely
attendance. Why is regular and on-time attendance important to
your child's success in school? Much of the teaching starts at
the beginning of the day, and even a five minute tardy can
disrupt the student's learning as well as the rest of the class'
learning. Students who are in class everyday become more familiar
with the information that is being taught. Regular attendance is
important for students to reach their full academic potential.
Listening to the teacher and hearing classmates discuss ideas
every day helps your child learn because the brain absorbs
information best through repetition and interaction. Repeated
absences can cause not only academic struggles but also social
isolation from peers. In addition, it is imperative that regular
attendance be expected in elementary school because patterns that
are set in school also carry into the workplace.
