☕ December 11 - Coffee and Conversation Parent Session: Supporting Student Attendance
Two times are offered: 9:30 am and 6:30 pm on Zoom
The session is intended to provide support for families when students have missed 10% or more of the school days. Whether excused or unexcused, students missing 6 or more days at this point in the school year are considered chronically absent from school.
At the parent session we will discuss how we can work together to support student attendance. We also share important information about PGCPS attendance policies and compulsory attendance laws in the state of Maryland.
All KES families are welcome to attend the Parent Session to learn more about school attendance, the Zoom Link is provided below:
