[quote=Anonymous]We (the school) cannot control the message being sent regardless if the absence is excused or not. Our poor attendance secretary gets reamed out daily from parents about these mass messages and she has zero control over them. The issue is that schools nationwide have a huge chronic absenteeism issue and nobody knows how to address it. As a school, we want our students there when they're physically healthy. However, we cannot control the parents who are unable to get their kids to school for various reasons. I'm an elementary administrator and our arrival feels like two different phases. We get one wave of kids who come in on time between 8:40 - 9:00am when our bell rings. Then we get anywhere from 20 - 40 kids who roll in between 9:01 - 10:30 every single day. I feel bad for the students because many of them were ready but stuck waiting for their parents to get their acts together. [/quote]
