[quote=Anonymous]You get these notices for a small number of absences so that when families accrue larger amounts the school can already say parent contact was made and escalate to further interventions. You won’t see these further interventions if your absences never reach that higher threshold. That said- school are pretty bad in accurately recording absences. Also, plenty of families do provide “sick” notes for students to excuse absences for things like short vacations, hair appointments, etc. also schools get a chunk of true ratings from overall in-seat attendance. Getting a responsive family to reduce a few absences (I.e. avoid missing a full day for a medical appointment or vacation) helps the school data even when that student might only have a couple of absences that year. —DCPS teacher and parent of DCPS student[/quote]
