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!) Offer some incentives for attendance for the student. Get the administration involved because excessive absences should not be permitted by the school or the state.
