Management:
Bear Experience: We reviewed data from the December student survey. At the middle school level, students will initially check into the library then go to the individual teacher classrooms for assistance. At the high school level, we will change the attendance requirements and eliminate the detention accumulation situation. Specific guidelines will follow from your building principals.
All teachers are reminded that the best way to increase attendance is for the teacher to personally contact students and parents to arrange for students to attend the Bear Experience or meet with you during IS/Homeroom or another time.
