Attendance

School attendance is of great importance.  Our new MSIP 5 guidelines count attendance as 90% of our students are at school 90% and above.  Currently we are not making this guideline at West Englewood.  We have contacted families of students that are not in compliance with these guidelines.  Ways you can help your child's school are;

*  Make sure your child is on time - by 9:15am - and remains until the days end - 4:00pm.  When a child is tardy or leaves early it counts against their attendance.
*  Schedule doctor/dental appointments outside the school day or for days off of school.
*  Make sure your child only misses when truly sick.

We appreciate your partnership in getting your child to school on time, every day.  If you've questions about your child's attendance please call the office.

Congrats to 5th grade for the best attendance rate at West Englewood for October.  Kindergarten was number one in September.  Wouldn't it be great to have all grades win for November??

See you at school - every day - on time - to increase learning for all!
