Things To Consider:

A note to parents

Most stomachaches, headaches, or minor ailments are not a reason to miss school.
Reward your student when they have perfect attendance. Movie tickets, a special dinner, or some other incentive at the end of each month in which your student has had perfect attendance.
Do not schedule medical or dental appointments during the school day.
Do not plan or take family trips or vacations that cause your student to miss school.
