Albuquerque Public Schools: September Is Attendance Awareness Month
See the latest announcement from Albuquerque Public Schools.
September 7, 2021
- Check ParentVUE regularly. The online information system helps monitor attendance and grades and allows families to communicate with teachers and the school.
- Get involved! Even during the pandemic, there are ways you can get involved at your child's school, and getting involved at the school will help you to understand what is going on and be a part of the school community.
- Update your contact information immediately when there are changes.
- Let your child's school know if you need help with school supplies or clothing, and they'll get in touch with the APS Community Clothing Bank and School Supply Barn on your behalf.
- Help your child stay on track by learning what happens if they become chronically absent.
- If your child does become chronically absent, reach out to the school for support and guidance on how to get them back on track.
- Find out the sick day guidelines so that you know when to keep your child home from school.
- Help your child feel safe. If they refuse to go to school, they might need emotional support, or it might be a sign of a problem at school. Reach out to the school counselor.
