Yippey! Half Day of School (Ages 9-12)

Mom, Friday is a half of day, do I have to go to school, said Ericka? Sorry, but yes you must attend school.
It's an official school day and why would you ask me that question? Because my classmate Trina said, her mother is allowing her to stay at home. We'll Ericka, get that plan out of your head because I will never allow you to stay at home on a half day of school. Wouldn't you like to make perfect attendance?

Going to school is something to make you proud and you can get an award. Now, how cool is that?
Always remember, only your teacher can pass you to the next grade level, not your classmates.
Earning good grades and going to school every day is important and necessary. Education is powerful and learning is fun and the golden rules of school and being a great student.

Ericka you can't do everything your schoolmates is allowed to do from their parents. While in school you're responsible for finishing your work and making sure you have your homework. Being organized is helpful to your teachers and they will see you are paying attention and following directions.
