Attendance Matters for Every Child

The school office needs to be alerted to any student absence:

• Please email or phone Ms. Dani when your child is absent.
  • ddejardin@smfcsd.net or 650-312-7404
  • Include your child's name, grade, teacher, and reason for the absence.
• Email your teacher and arrange a plan for missed work.
• Email or drop off in the office a copy of the doctor's excuse.
• Excused absences are
  • illness
  • doctor's visit

We are here to support you in bringing your child to school on time and ready to learn every day. 

 

​Attendance 

Our school goal is to decrease the number of Chronic Absentee students this school year. That means decreasing the number of students who are  absent for 18 or more school days.  See chart below on the number of days missed at school:

 

 

Sickness- When to stay home,

We understand that starting back in school there tends to be many sicknesses going around. Thank you for keeping your child at home if they are sick.  But if they only have a cough or runny nose with no other symptoms, please send them to school. 

Here is a chart to help when to keep at home and when to send to school: 

 

 

 

Morning Routines

Here are some reminders on the importance of a morning routine and how to help your child attend school on time. 

 

• Arrive at school by 8:10 for TK-5th Grade. 

• Have your child walk into school, and stay next to or hold hands with parents.

• Have your child wear or carry their own backpack.

• Have your child put their belongings on the backpack hook, encouraging independence. 

• Say goodbye to your child with your own routine (ex: hug and a kiss and wave goodbye)

• By 8:20 have your child line up by the door by themself. 

• TK and Kinder parents please wait by the black gate or behind the blue tables once the child is in line. 

• Students walk into the classroom and greet the teacher independently. 

• Parents leave campus so the child can quickly transition into learning independently. 

• Instructional minutes begin promptly at  8:25am.  Students who arrive through the door after 8:25 are marked tardy. 

 

 

Why do tardies matter? 

It is important to support the child as they learn punctuality, independence, and self reliance. This routine will help them gain the confidence they need to start the morning successfully. 

 

Kids miss important instructional minutes

• The rush of running late and the stress of having peers see you come late creates anxiety in children

• Practicing timeliness now sets children up for success to be punctual and prepared later in life

• When tardy, kids and parents miss the opportunity for social interaction with our school community before school

 

We understand that there are lots of things going on in the morning and that arriving on campus by 8:00 or 8:10 is difficult!  But, it is worth it so that we can set up your child for success and joy in learning.   

 

Attendance Matters!
