School Attendance Tip Your child won't learn anything in class if they are not there, so make attendance a priority!  To ensure they are in school every single day:  

Embrace routines.  

Follow simple bedtime rituals at night and routines in the morning.

Prep in advance.  

Pack lunches and load book bags before bed.  It'll make mornings much less frantic.

Be firm.  Unless your child is legitimately ill, insist she go to school.
