Did you know that missing 18 days in a school year makes a student chronically absent? ✏️
#BeHereNM #BeHereNM
🧤🌲As we celebrate the holiday season and battle the inevitable cold and flu season, we want to emphasize the crucial role that regular school attendance plays in your child's academic success. 🖍 Research consistently shows that students who attend school regularly perform better academically than those with chronic absenteeism, providing a solid foundation for future achievement. 📝📓
✨ Here are some actionable tips to help prioritize attendance even in the face of controllable factors: ✨
▪️ Plan Vacations Strategically: Consider planning trips during school breaks or weekends to avoid unnecessary disruptions to your child's education.
▪️ Communicate: Identifying & addressing issues early can prevent prolonged absences.
▪️ Schedule Appointments Strategically: Whenever possible, try to schedule routine appointments outside of school hours or during breaks.
▪️ Utilize Support Services: Take advantage of the support services offered by our district.

On the 80th & 120th day of school, APS captures a snapshot of the bus ridership to report to NMPED. The information collected on this day is very important and impacts the funding our district receives for transportation. Transportation funding not only supports students' daily rides to and from school, it can also support in-district school field trips.
On Monday, December 1st, if your child is a bus rider please help us provide an accurate count by having them ride the bus. Thank you and see you soon!
#BeHere and join us in the fun as we prioritize attendance! 💛
