PARENT NOTIFICATION LETTER FOR TRUANCY PROBLEMS

Dear (Parents Name),

As you know, children must attend school on a regular basis in order to be successful. There is a compulsory school attendance law in Connecticut and parents and guardians are legally responsible for keeping their children in school. I'm sure that you want your child to do well in school and therefore, I'm writing to ask for your help.                                 has                 unexcused absences from school. You have already received information from the                                       Public Schools explaining the attendance policy. This policy states that if a student is absent for more than twenty (20) days, he/she may not be promoted to the next grade.

This is serious problem and we all need to work together to solve it. Please contact                     immediately for an appointment.                            will work with you and your child to improve school attendance.

Sincerely,

Principal
