Attendance
Did you know that attendance is one of the most influential factors in student achievement? It is such a big influence that attendance is the second indicator (only behind test scores) that determine if middle schools make Adequate Yearly Progress. When students are out they not only miss instruction themselves, but they need additional teacher time for makeup help when they return. That hurts everyone. We constantly track attendance data and have become concerned about the number of student absences. When students are sick they need to stay at home to recover and prevent the spread of illness. However, when students are well, they need to be in school, on time, on a consistent basis. With the advent of spring, busy schedules and late nights it is important for parents to make regular, timely school attendance a priority. We want to make the best use of every minute for every child!
