Attendance Matters

Why does attendance matter?

We often hear from graduates that they wish they would have worked consistently when they were younger so they wouldn't have had to play catch up later and graduate late. The upside of out system at CPS is that it is possible to catch up on credits when a student is behind. The downside is that students need more individual motivation to do work that doesn't necessarily have a due date. 

When a student misses school, he or she gets more and more behind, and has more catching up to do later, and has more of a chance of not finishing high school at all. 

Please make it a priority to have regular attendance, and let us know what we can do to help you!


¿Por qué es importante la asistencia?


Escuchamos una y otra vez de los graduados que desearían haber trabajado de manera constante cuando eran más jóvenes para no haber tenido que ponerse al día más tarde y graduarse tarde. La ventaja de nuestro sistema en CPS es que es posible ponerse al día con los créditos cuando un estudiante está atrasado. La desventaja es que se necesita más motivación individual de los estudiantes para hacer un trabajo que no necesariamente tiene una fecha de entrega. 

Cuando un estudiante falta a la escuela, se atrasa cada vez más y tiene más cosas que ponerse al día más tarde, o tiene más posibilidades de no terminar la escuela secundaria. 

¡Convierta la asistencia regular en una prioridad!

"¡Asista hoy, logre el mañana!"

Miguel Romero

If you feel your child would benefit from additional support, please encourage them to speak with Anais, another staff member they ...

Updated Attendance Protocol Effective March 30

  Dear Community Prep Families, We are writing to inform you of an update to our school attendance protocol that will go into full effect at the start of fourth quarter, after Spring Break, on March 30.
