[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your kids are the low hanging fruit. There’s a difference between the kids who miss 5-10 days over the course of a year for family trips or illness and manage to make up work and the kids who miss 30+ days with no communication from parents or attempts to do any work they’ve missed. FCPS is trying to guilt the former group because they’re more responsive and because they’re unable to move the needle with the latter group.[/quote] This is school dependent. I am a teacher myself and got many similar phone calls and emails about chronic absenteeism for one of my kids even through there was a documented ongoing medical issue. Think of something like surgery and then ongoing PT and rehab. This year we had my kids miss one day for an aunt’s wedding out of town and I was honest, that was marked unexcused. I will always say it’s a sick day from now on. [/quote]
