Redwood City bulletin urges strong TK/kindergarten attendance and seeks volunteers for oversight committees
Summary
The district emphasized September as attendance-awareness month for TK and kindergarten, offered tips for families, and invited parents and community members to apply to citizens’ oversight committees for Measures U and S via QR code or the bulletin’s buttons.
The Redwood City School District’s bulletin reminded families that September is attendance-awareness month and called on parents to ensure daily attendance for transitional kindergarten and kindergarten students, emphasizing that early attendance helps build routines and early literacy skills.
"Septiembre es el mes de concientización sobre la asistencia y cada día cuenta especialmente en TK y en kinder," the presenter said, adding tips such as keeping routines, avoiding vacations during school days and scheduling appointments outside instructional time. The bulletin encouraged families who face barriers to contact school staff for support.
Community participation: The bulletin also invited residents to serve on two oversight bodies: the Measure U Citizens' Oversight Committee, which reviews annual Measure U spending, and the Measure S Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee for bond-funded capital projects. The presenter provided QR codes and buttons for applications and noted the Measure U measure will expire in academic year 2030-2031; the transcript’s annual funding figure for Measure U appears corrupted ('$,900,000') and therefore was not specified in the bulletin.
Why it matters: Early attendance supports long-term academic progress; citizen oversight committees provide public review of how voter-approved funds are spent. The bulletin directed interested community members to the district website for full details and application links.
