Be aware of absences
At Chinook's Edge, we share your priority to ensure the best learning experience each day for your child.
If your child's attendance is becoming a concern, please contact your child's teacher. They are your partner in helping your child succeed in school!
Make school attendance a priority in your home:
- Communicate the importance of regular school attendance.
- Have regular evening and homework routines.
- Schedule family events and appointments during non-school hours whenever possible.
- Reach out to your child's teacher with any questions or concerns about attendance.
We understand your child will be away at times because of illness and other reasons.
Our priority is to eliminate unnecessary absences so that your child can learn, connect and succeed in school!
We're here to help your child succeed in learning and in life.
How Chinook's Edge responds to attendance concerns
As a parent, if my child is experiencing attendance concerns, what can I expect?
- Your child's teacher will reach out to you to have an initial conversation to explore if there is anything they can do to help your child attend (ie. develop a new seating arrangement, establish regular check-ins with the teacher, etc).
- If there continues to be attendance concerns, your child's Principal/Vice Principal will reach out to you to further explore supports that can be put in place for your child at the school level (ie. adjustment in the child's schedule, connecting to trusted adults, etc).
- If there continues to be attendance concerns, the Principal of Alternative Learning will reach out to you to further explore what supports can be put in place for your child at the division level (ie. explore Alternative Learning, working with the child to build routines, etc).
We're here to help your child succeed in learning and in life.
