Attendance Matters...
This year, we're working hard to advance student success by reducing chronic absenteeism. At the end of each month, our team will be reviewing student attendance and will be setting up meetings with families whose students have missed 10% of our school days. During these meetings, we will be creating success plans in an effort to help improve student attendance.
Students who miss 2 days of school in September often go on to become chronically absent. To maintain satisfactory attendance and to create good attendance habits that can last a lifetime, students should strive to miss no more than 9 days per year (or less than 1 day per month).
M-Step
As we learn more about our district’s results, we will be able to make decisions that will help improve instruction. These standardized assessments were administered during a unique year of learning. Regardless of whether your child’s scores improved or declined compared to previous years, students will not be affected in a negative way. We use multiple measures to assess students throughout the school year to identify student strengths and areas of need in order to design instruction accordingly.
Please let us know if you have questions about the M-STEP, Michigan’s learning standards, or your child’s progress overall. Fraser Public Schools provides personalized instruction for our students in order to meet each child’s learning needs, and we appreciate your collaboration in that journey.
