We hope you had a wonderful and restful spring break. As we head into the final stretch of the school year, here are some important updates and reminders for our David Douglas families.
Attendance Matters
Every school day is an opportunity for students to learn, grow, and build connections with their teachers and peers.
Chronic absenteeism—missing 10% or more of school days—can have a lasting impact on a student’s ability to succeed academically. Research shows that consistent attendance supports stronger reading skills, better performance in middle school, and higher graduation rates in high school.
As long as your student is healthy, please encourage them to attend school every day. If your child is experiencing challenges related to illness, anxiety, or other concerns that make attending difficult, reach out to your school for support. We are here to help.
Please visit our attendance page for more information.
