Principal’s Message
Dear Panther Lake Families,
I want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of daily school attendance. Every school day matters, and being present from the first bell to dismissal gives students the full benefit of instruction, practice, and support from their teachers. When students are absent or leave early, they miss critical learning opportunities that can add up over time.
For example, if a child is picked up just one hour early twice per week, that equals 2 hours of lost instruction each week. Over the course of our 36-week school year, this adds up to 72 hours — more than 11 full school days of missed learning (since each school day is 6.25 hours). Small amounts of time missed consistently can have a big impact on your child’s progress.
We are getting close to the end of the first quarter and we have many students that have already missed between 5 and 10 days of school. Some families believe it is okay if the absences are excused. This is a common misconception. Regardless of whether or not the absence is excused, your child is missing instruction. Additionally, school attendance is compulsory under Florida state law.
We know that emergencies and appointments come up, but we ask that you help us maximize your child’s learning by making every effort to schedule appointments outside of school hours and by ensuring your child is in school for the full day whenever possible. Furthermore, we ask that you plan family vacations during our school breaks. Together, we can make sure every student has the best chance to succeed.
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting your child’s education.
Respectfully,
Dr. Christine Szymanski
Principal
