ACES Family Update
Published by Anderson-Crawford Elementary January 22, 2023
Attendance Goals and Progress
Happy Sunday!
We are well underway in the second semester and there are many great things going on in classrooms! Students are learning new skills daily and teachers are working hard to create lessons that address what students need to learn to move forward. We have Science Fair coming up and STEAM Club is restarting.
There are many great reasons for students to be here at school and learning, since every instructional minute counts for students, especially when they are learning foundational skills in elementary school. When we look at risk of dropout or poor academic outcomes, rate of attendance is a major factor. We can't teach them if they aren't here.
Anderson Crawford has set a goal for overall student attendance at 95% average. In the office you will see a sign that updates the weekly average, as well as the numbers of late arrivals and early sign outs. This week we have moved up to 92.9% average daily attendance. Excellent! While we generally have daily attendance rates in the mid ninety percents, our Friday attendance drops to the mid eighties every week. While only 85% of students may be present, instruction continues.
We hope to see all of our students here at school every day they are well. We miss them when they are absent!
