Attendance

Parents we need YOU… to help your child STRIVE FOR FIVE!
Every Benjamin Franklin student will take a pledge to strive for less than 5 days absent for the entire 2022-2023 school year!

Why?

Your children can suffer academically if they do not attend school on a regular basis. Absences add-up quickly. Missing two days of school a month leads to 20 days absent at the end of the school year (which equals an entire month of school missed 😞).

How?

For younger children, you can set a regular bedtime and morning routine. Make sure they get 9 to 11 hours of sleep. You can lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before. For older children, you can help them develop homework and bedtime routines that allow for 8 ½ to 9 ½ hours of sleep. Make sure that when the lights go out, so do the cell phones, video games and computers.

Whether your child is in preschool or middle school, school attendance matters and is a predictor of your child’s future! The school day is from 7:20 am and 2:20 pm. Please ensure your child is in school and on time daily.
