Attendance Newsletter
Happy Attendance Awareness Month!
We're back to school!
When students improve their attendance rates, they improve their academic prospects and chances for graduating. By starting the year with good attendance, we start on the road to graduation.
Now that we're back, you can expect an attendance newsletter every month with attendance information, student submitted advice pieces, and information about prizes for good attendance. We're excited to start a fresh school year, and we hope you are too :)
Meet the attendance team!
Kelly Lindberg, Family Compliance Liaison
Hi there! My name is Kelly Lindberg and I am the Family Compliance Liaison (it’s not as scary as it sounds :) ) here at ISWA. When I am not working at ISWA, I am a full-time mom to two beautiful little girls and two chocolate labs, who constantly keep me busy and inspired. I love traveling with them, going on outdoor adventures, discovering new restaurants/coffee shops, and being part of our community!
This is my 4th school year and I am looking forward to continuously working with families and students to help with the success of their education. My job focuses on attendance and making sure students attend school on a regular basis and ensuring they are communicating weekly with their teachers. My absolute favorite part of this position is being able to see students be successful and look forward to their future! All students here have a great opportunity to get any support they need, no matter their circumstances. I am always here for you as well and if there are any barriers preventing you from attending school regularly, please let me know!

good and improved attendance prizes
We know attending school is a lot of work. We want to show you that we see all your effort by introducing a monthly attendance prize drawing! Each month students with good and improved attendance are automatically entered into the drawing. At the end of the month, we will randomly select students to win some awesome prizes (check out the list below!). To be entered into the drawing, just follow our attendance policies each week :)
EVERY. SINGLE. MONTH. you have the chance to be recognized for your good attendance. All you have to do is show up and do your best!
