  Case: Great grades, Bad attendance
There is one student in the class with exceptional grades. They are excelling in reading and math. However, they are on the verge of retainment due to excessive absences. I have spoken with the student and sent notes home to the parents. What could I do? I don't want the student held back.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
you said there was notes sent home? However, were those notes sent back to school with the parents signature so you know the parents are aware? unfortunately in this situation you can only do so much. A good conversations with the student would be good, and being honest with him or her letting them know the consequences to his or her actions when it comes down to missing class.

Comments: This raises a good question. Try contacting the parent yourself. Or finding other ways to develop a solution for this student. Maybe speaking to them will be beneficial, if they knew they could be held back due to absences.
