Track 1 EOGs Begin
Attendance!!!
2016-2017 (at the end of April) - 95.51%
2015-2016 School year - 96.07%
2014-2015 School year - 96.17%
This year, over 450 student had 6 or more absences. There total absences accumulate to 2,700 missed days of school. Attendanceworks.org claims that schools should strive to reach over 97% of average daily attendance.
Thus, we are asking for your help as we start this endeavor now. Please make sure your students are at school unless they are sick. Please plan all vacations, family trips, etc during track out times. Please note: an excused absence is still an absence and does not discount of credit a students attendance rate in any manner.
To help increase our attendance rate, we are celebrating all students with perfect attendance in May. All students that are at school every day, will have the opportunity to try and soak their principal with water. In April, we held an ice cream party for all students with perfect attendance.
Please help in this endeavor and ensure your child is at school daily!
