Middle & High School Attendance
While tracking individual student attendance, I am seeing a trend of random absences during the day. I am also seeing a student showing up absent for all hours, but present for one class in the middle of the day. My thought was either a student is late to class, past the tardy time, and is marked absent or teachers doing hourly attendance by "Select All" and then forgetting to go back to "un-click" the students that are not present during that hour. Can you please discuss this with staff at your next staff meeting? I want to make sure I have accurate information from PS while discussing the data with the parents. Thank you.
Attendance Communication
I am also making notes on the spreadsheets of any communications I have had with parents, any changed/disconnected phone numbers, McKinney Vento, etc.... Please continue to use the spreadsheets as our guide to communicate and identifying/eliminating barriers.
