School Attendance is a Parents' Responsibility

Under California Law it is your legal responsibility as a parent to make sure that your child attends school on a daily basis. By fullfilling your duty you will teach your child important lessons about responsibility and accountability that last a lifetime.

Suggested ways to support your child:

• Build a relationship with your child's teacher and school staff
• Volunteer at your child's school
• Help your child with homework
• Reinforce the importance of education and going to college
• Encourage participation in after school activities
• Establish good study habits
• Set a regular bedtime schedule
• Establish rules and consequences for breaking rules, and then follow through
• Praise your child for good behavior and accomplishments
• Pick up homework, if your child can not attend class
• Communicate with your child
• Be a friend to your child.... Be a parent!
