This Information Guide was written to share information with parents and caregivers about the very important topic of student attendance.

• Everyone can play a role in making sure that all First Nations students have every opportunity for success by attending school as much as possible.
• It is most effective when families and schools work in partnership to promote good attendance.
• In fact, it is most helpful when entire communities encourage all students to arrive at school regularly and on-time.
