Build the Habit of Good Attendance

Our district’s pledge is to create a culture of attendance every day, every month. We know that achievement and student success is inextricably linked to attendance. Your school district leadership and staff are dedicated to ongoing communication, support and encouragement around the importance of showing up. The most important thing we can do for our children to be successful in life is to get them to school every day and every day on time. Here’s why:

In the elementary years, children who miss school are more likely to struggle academically and, in later years, to dropout entirely

In the secondary years, attendance is the No. 1 predictor of dropout and graduation rates

Attendance is a top indicator of being on track for graduation and for college and career readiness

Nearly 67% of course failures were attributed to low attendance

Although there are times when your child should stay home from school, it’s important to keep in mind that missing just a couple of days of school a month can have a severe impact on your child’s success. If there are issues preventing your child from regular school attendance, please reach out to your teacher, principal or school staff to discuss any concerns so we can help. Together we are making a difference!

Construir el Hábito de Buena Asistencia

La promesa de nuestro distrito es crear una cultura de asistencia todos los días, cada mes. Sabemos que el logro y el éxito de los estudiantes está inextricablemente ligado a la asistencia. Su liderazgo escolar y personal está dedicado a la comunicación continua, apoyo y ánimo alrededor de la importancia de aparecer. La cosa más importante que podemos hacer para que nuestros hijos tengan éxito en la vida es llevarlos a la escuela cada día y a tiempo. Aquí está por qué:

En los años de la escuela primaria, los niños que no asisten a la escuela son más propensos a la lucha académica y, en años posteriores, a abandonos completamente

En los años secundarios, la asistencia es el n º 1 predictor de las tasas de deserción y graduación

La asistencia es un alto indicador de estar en pista para la graduación y para la preparación de la Universidad y carrera

Casi el 67% de los fallos de curso fue atribuido a la baja asistencia

Aunque haya tiempos cuando su hijo se debería quedar en casa de la escuela, es importante tener en cuenta que perdiendo sólo un par de días de la escuela en un mes puede tener un impacto severo en el éxito de su hijo. Si hay cuestiones que previenen a su hijo de la asistencia escolar regular, por favor consulte a su maestro, director o personal escolar para hablar de cualquier preocupación por la que te podamos ayudar. Juntos estamos haciendo una diferencia!

Families often face hardship at different times and for many different reasons. We believe that Edison is a community that values looking out for each other and providing support in times of need. The Community Support Network works with Yoly Gutierrez, Edison’s Community Liaison, to provide additional support to families in whatever way we can. For example, we raise funds to help with basic needs and services such as rental assistance, emergency funds for food and bills, and legal consultations. Get involved and support the network: 1. DONATE We are looking for cash donations or gift cards to pay for groceries, metro, phone or other bills. For example, $40 would sponsor a family who may be in need of getting reliable legal consultation for their immigration status. Or maybe a family is in need of support to purchase groceries this month due to excess medical bills. Please drop off monetary donations in the office or look for us at cafecito. 2. PARTICIPATE For those who would like to be more involved, you can join our network and help us plan future efforts, respond to immediate community needs, or attend actions in the community to represent Edison interests. Please contact Francine Ortega (francineortega@gmail.com /510292-9428) if you would like more information about participating and/or donating. If you need assistance: Please contact Yoly (ygutierrez@smmusd.org / 310-828-0335 ext. 61-305). Your information will be kept confidential and is never shared with others at school. You will be able to meet with Yoly and she will act as the liaison to the network.

Nuestra comunidad de Edison valora apoyarse unos a otros en tiempos de dificultades. La Red de Apoyo Comunitario fue creada hace varios años con la intención de poner este principio en práctica. Trabajamos con Yoly Gutierrez para brindar asistencia adicional a familias. Por ejemplo, recaudamos fondos para ayudar con necesidades como renta, comida y consultas legales.

Apoye al Grupo: 1. DONE Buscamos donaciones en efectivo, o tarjetas de regalo para alimentos, gasolina, transporte, teléfono, etc. Por ejemplo, un donativo de $40 puede ayudar a una familia que necesita ayuda legal acerca de su estatus de inmigración. O tal vez una familia necesite ayuda para comprar sus alimentos debido a gastos médicos imprevistos. Puede dejar donaciones en la oficina o buscarnos durante cafecito. 2. PARTICIPE Si desea hacer más, pueden unirse a la Red y ayudarnos a planificar esfuerzos futuros, responder a necesidades inmediatas de la comunidad, o atender eventos comunitarios para representar los intereses de la comunidad de Edison. Comuníquese con Francine Ortega (francineortega@gmail.com /510-292-9428) si desea más información acerca de donar o participar. Si necesita ayuda de la Red: Por favor comuníquese con Yoly Gutierrez (ygutierrez@smmusd.org /310-828-0335 ext. 61-305). Yoly sirve de enlace con la Red. Su información se mantiene confidencial, y no se compartirá con ninguna otra persona en la escuela.
