Fort Zumwat East High School offers the opportunities that your child will need to succeed in life. Make sure your child is in school all day, every day.
· Make it clear that education is important to you by showing interest in your child’s school work and activities (school website, bulletin, etc.)
· Know school policies on absences and keeping up school work (these can be found on the website or by emailing teachers)
· Keep an accurate calendar that shows school breaks. Plan family vacations when school is in recess.
· Make sure that your child arrives at school on time. Being late 10 minutes a day totals to 30 hours of lost instruction for the school year.
· Schedule appointments after school hours, or during off days, when possible.
· Call the school when your child is absent. When possible, let the school know in advance that your child will be out.
· Sometimes serious family or medical issues can impact attendance. It is important to communicate with school personnel and work together to overcome obstacles to attendance.
