PPC Visibility Materials
Playful bilingual (English-Spanish) materials – scorecards, tallies, buttons, reminder cards and the mascot — “Punctual Pete” — provide a structure for the focus on attendance, support parent and child engagement and reinforces a welcoming school environment. Buttons, scorecards and mascots make consistent on-time attendance a highly visible, child-centered value. Surveys stimulate parents and teachers to think about the impact of consistent on-time attendance on children.
WHATS A CAMPAIGN WITHOUT A BUTTON? PPC buttons make everyone smile – and – they remind all generations of the importance of on-time attendance. Teachers began allowing children who are on-time to wear their button all day, a salute to their achievement and an honor that nurtures pride in the children. Some school’s prefer to make stickers from the button design. Wristbands, all the vogue now for young children, can also be worn daily and carry the “on-time on target” message.
Students fill out scorecards daily to track punctuality and attendance
The process of monitoring their own progress develops children’s sense of ownership in their attendance behavior.
Parents and other volunteers wear the Punctual Pete Costume and bright orange vests to greet children at the beginning of the day and to reinforce attendance and punctuality messages in the classrooms.
Surveys at the start of the school year focus adults’ attention on issues of routine and punctuality. Parallel versions for parents and staff give administrators insights into attitudes and inform planning for workshops for workshops and messaging for children, families, and staff.
