Agree this is all fluff. They could just say, “Your child is expected to be in school on time, every day.”

Or better yet, say nothing. Do admin really think that parents don't know their children are supposed to be in school every day? Our district does this too and it's a total waste of paper and envelopes a dozen times a year to every family enrolled in the school district. Could have spent that money on school supplies instead of making the teachers beg for it from parents via amazon wish lists.

Then why do kids keep coming in late?

Because not everyone has hired help in the mornings to deal with three kids who attend different schools? Or their transportation had a snafu? Or one kid peed their pants on the drive to school? You think parents are trying on purpose to be tardy?

Perhaps someone who has not mastered English should not be hired as the "Chief Academic Officer." Would love to see which District this is.

OP said it’s a large urban school district… just saying!

Large urban school district? Do most of you have any idea what that is like?

“an environment where students can come to school to pop their heads into the classroom to tell the teacher to mark them present, which the teacher is required to do, then proceed to socialize, wander the halls, flirt, fight, walk to the corner store for some food and come back, play games in the gym or atrium, vandalize school property, pop in on the few friends who chose to go to their class, disrupting everyone, and generally live a free and happy life without consequences.”

If you do not believe that depiction, perhaps you should demand a retraction from the Washington Post for printing it:
