Parent/School Partnership: School Calendar
Each year the leadership team of Logos plans the school calendar with the best intentions of balancing the need for student instructional days with the need to address official Cambodian holidays. Good attendance at school is vital for student success.
The Student/Parent Handbook states: “All student absences must be reported to the office. Extended absences of 5 or more days require administrator approval.” Logos teachers are eager to partner with parents to help their students succeed, but parents are ultimately responsible for ensuring that their students receive the instruction necessary for success. Please consider this partnership when planning family events that take students away from school.
Mr. Belloni

Note from School Nurse
Improving School Community & Student Health
Chronic absenteeism broadly refers to missing too much school for any reason, including excused and unexcused absences as well as suspensions. The US Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights has used a definition of missing 15 or more days over the course of a school year.1 Most researchers have defined chronic absenteeism as missing 10% (or around 18 days) of the entire school year. Some organizations suggest using 10%, because it promotes earlier identification of poor attendance throughout the school year. For example, identifying students who have missed just 2 days in the first month of school predicts chronic absence throughout the year.
Chronic absenteeism can occur as early as preschool and kindergarten and has been shown to be related to future chronic absenteeism, grade retention, and poor academic achievement, particularly for social skills and reading.3,8,20,21 In the USA, among elementary school students, absenteeism is highest in kindergarten and first grade, then decreases until middle school. At least 10% of kindergarten and first-grade students miss a month or more of the school year.21 Absenteeism tends to increase again in middle school and high school, with an estimated 19% of all high school students being chronically absent.
Here is a great interactive website for parents and students that address the needs of improving school community and Student Health by the CDC: Improving School Community & Student Health.
