Regular school attendance is essential to student success! Every day a student is in school is an opportunity to learn, build friendships, develop important skills, and stay connected with teachers and classmates. Even missing a few days can make it difficult for students to keep up with lessons and schoolwork.
At Clinton Community School District, we encourage families to make school attendance a priority and help students be here, ready to learn, every day!
We understand that children get sick, and keeping your child home when they are contagious or too ill to participate is important. However, not every sniffle, cough, or minor complaint means a student needs to miss an entire day of school.
Your child can generally come to school if they:
- Have a mild runny nose, sniffles, or minor cough without a fever.
- Have mild allergy symptoms.
- Have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without medication.
- Are feeling well enough to participate in classroom activities.
- Have a mild headache or stomachache that does not interfere with learning or daily activities.
Remember: Every Day Makes a Difference!
If your child is well enough to participate in school, we encourage them to attend! Working together, families and schools can build strong attendance habits that support student learning, confidence, and long-term success.
Thank you for partnering with Clinton Community School District to make every school day count!
