We would like to build a greater involvement and partnership with the parents of our students. We want to work with families as a whole on tips and incentives to improve their child's attendance. This will encourage students by rewarding them with incentives and positive feedback being at school regularly. We will help by regularly interacting with the student about the importance of being at school on a daily basis. Our goal is to build confidence in our students and bridge the gap. We hope this will help our students see the importance of coming to school!
