Falcon Families,

We wanted to share an important goal we’ve set here at Friend School and to discuss how we can work together to support our students' success.

Our goal for the upcoming school year is for each student to miss fewer than 5 days of school. This goal is not just a number; it represents our commitment to ensuring that every student has the best possible opportunity to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Attendance is a fundamental component of a student’s education and overall development. When students are present in the classroom, they benefit from:

1. Consistent Learning: Every day in school builds on the previous day’s lessons. Regular attendance helps students keep up with the curriculum and ensures they understand new concepts fully.
2. Social Interaction: School is not just about academics; it’s also a place where students learn social skills, build relationships, and develop a sense of community. Regular attendance helps students stay connected with their peers and fosters a sense of belonging.
3. Building Good Habits: Consistent attendance teaches responsibility and time management, skills that are valuable throughout life. By attending school regularly, students learn the importance of commitment and perseverance.
4. Emotional Well-being: School provides a supportive environment where students can feel secure and valued. Regular attendance helps maintain this stability and supports students’ emotional health.

We understand that there are occasions when absences are unavoidable due to illness or family emergencies. Our goal is to minimize those instances by encouraging and supporting regular attendance. If you ever have concerns about your child’s attendance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to work with you to address any challenges and to find solutions that support your child’s education.

Together, we can make a significant impact on our students’ learning experiences and their future success. We are excited about this school year and confident that with your support, we can achieve our attendance goal and ensure a rewarding year for every student.

Thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to your child’s education. Let’s make this school year a remarkable one, filled with growth, learning, and success.

Thank you for your time and support!
