Family Attendance Commitment Procedure

 

Every minute counts ~ attendance habits begin in preschool and we want to communicate the importance of our young learners being at school on time, everyday because every minute of the school day counts!  In an effort to partner with families to promote strong attendance habits, we will be communicating attendance information with parents on a regular basis.  All day attendance is important. Each time a child arrives late, leaves early or isn’t at school he/she is missing instructional time which can create a negative educational impact.

 

Communication:Absences, Late Arrival and Early Pick Up

When students must be absent, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to contact Three Trails.

  •  Parents/Guardians are to call within 30 minutes of the start of school if their child will not be in attendance on any given day.
    • If parents/guardians do not contact the school, a Three Trails staff member will make contact with the family  
  • Excessive absences may result in dismissal from Three Trails. 

 

Raytown Early Childhood Attendance Procedure:

Due to limited availability of preschool seats, families who choose to attend Three Trails will be expected to follow the Raytown Early Childhood Attendance Procedure.  Failure to follow procedures may result in dismissal from Three Trails. 

  • Three Trails will monitor attendance for all students monthly. 
  • Students with attendance under 90% will receive a letter monthlyStudents will receive additional letters and/or communication when they have arrived late, left early, picked up late, or been absent 5 and/or 10 times.
  • Families will be contacted to create an attendance plan once the student has arrived late, left early, picked up late, or been absent 10 times. 
  • Students that have arrived late, left early, picked up late, or been absent more than 10 times may be  dismissed from the program.

 

Certainly, we do not expect students to attend classes if they are ill; however, every effort should be made to see that students are in class whenever possible.

 

Absences will be considered excused for the following reasons and written documentation may be required:

  • Illness or injury of the student
  • Medical, dental or mental health appointments
  • Funeral, religious observances, and other critical appointments that cannot be scheduled outside of school hours

 

By signing below, I am committing to the above Raytown Early Childhood Attendance Procedure. I understand the importance of my student attending school on time and regularly. If I need support I will reach out to Three Trails Preschool staff.
