SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR PARENTS
Parents,
Student attendance at school is very important. The obvious reason is that it is NC law, but there is a much more important reason. Good attendance and punctuality is a life skill! We want our students to graduate with the skills to get and keep and keep a job after high school. Research clearly shows that the number one reason for not being able to keep a job is poor attendance. When employers call me with job reference calls for students, the very first question is always... "Are they dependable". Do they come to school everyday?" They aren't as worried about the skills necessary for the job because they will teach you how to do what they need. But if they have a history of being absent or tardy more than 5%, they will not hire them. I'm sorry to say this happens several times each school year.
Parents - WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please encourage your children to attend school everyday if possible. You will be teaching them the one life skill that will make them or break them in their lives!
