Rocklin Unified School District

Every day in school is an opportunity for your child to learn, grow, and thrive! Regular attendance helps build a strong foundation for future success, even at this early age. By bringing your child to school every day, you're helping them develop essential skills, build friendships, and create a positive learning routine that will last a lifetime. The Rocklin Unified School District (RUSD) academic data shows that consistently attending school daily leads to higher success rates in meeting grade-level reading standards. 

• Have a consistent bedtime.
• Set your morning alarm.
• Pack your backpack and set out your clothes before you go to bed.
• Pre-pack your lunch box the night before.
• Create a Family Help Bank of people who can help you with transportation if an emergency occurs.  
• If your child has a slight headache, tummy ache, or allergies and is not sick with a fever or a contagious illness, have them attend school. Tell your child to ask their teacher if they need to visit the health nurse.
• If your family plans to leave town in the afternoon, have your child attend a portion of the school day before leaving.
• Send your child to school before/after doctor and dental appointments.
• If your child will be out of school for a pre-planned trip or event, request an independent study packet from the school office.
• If you need clarification, call your site office for advice.
