Attendance

At Penbridge Schools, we believe that every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and part of a caring community. Regular attendance is a vital part of that experience. When students are in school consistently, they build stronger friendships, engage more deeply in learning, and develop a sense of belonging that boosts their overall well-being.

We understand that life can sometimes present challenges, and we’re here to work with you to make sure your child feels happy and confident coming to school each day. Together, we can create an environment where every child thrives—academically, socially, and emotionally.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us make every school day count.

We are incredibly proud of our Attendance Stars this week! Their commitment to coming to school every day sets a fantastic example for others and shows great dedication to their learning. Well done to all of our stars – keep up the amazing effort!
