LEARN MORE ABOUT DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day falls on the third Monday of January each year. It’s a day to remember and honor the great Civil Rights leader. On this day, many Americans volunteer at shelters, schools, hospitals, and other community organizations to honor King’s legacy of service and commitment.

You can learn about King and the Civil Rights Movement by reading the TIME for Kids articles below.

TFK Library: Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. is considered one of history’s greatest activists. His leadership helped end segregation during the civil rights movement.

ATTENDANCE MATTERS

Did you know?

Students who miss only 2 days of school per month starting in kindergarten will have missed about a month of school by the end of kindergarten and have missed nearly a half year of school by the end of 3rd grade
Missing 18 days or 10 percent of school days due to absence for any reason can translate into students having difficulty learning to read by the third grade, achieving success in middle school, and graduating from high school.
By middle school, chronic absenteeism can predict higher high school dropout rates.
Parents who make school attendance a priority are also helping their children learn to accept responsibility. That is an important lesson for a successful life.

10 Tips for Parents/Guardians

Set attendance goals with your child or track attendance on a calendar
Help your child get a good night’s sleep
Prep the night before and set a morning routine to streamline your morning
Try to schedule medical or dental appointments before or after school hours
Schedule trips during school breaks
Don’t let your child stay home unless they are truly sick
Talk with your child about the reasons they may not want to go to school
For students who have chronic health issues, talk with their pediatrician about developing a plan for school
Know school start times and contact the school if your child will be late or absent
Encourage your child to get involved with after-school activities
