students in attendance at Washington K-8 School

Throughout the month, our Attendance Department wants to make sure you know why attendance matters as well as the policies and procedures for excused absences.

Parents and families are essential partners in promoting good attendance because they have the bottom-line responsibility for making sure their children get to school every day. Just as parents should focus on how their children are performing academically, they have a responsibility to set expectations for good attendance and to monitor their children’s absences, so that missed days don’t add up to academic deficits.

Let’s work together to ensure our scholars are ready to learning each day! Learn more at our Attendance Awareness Month page.
