Chronic Absence Update-26.2%
Goal-19%
Our goal for the year is 19% chronic absence (37 students) currently we are at 21.0% (51 students).
Cycle 4-Attendance Next Steps
We have done a great job of reaching out to families and educating them on the importance of attendance.
Going forward we will begin targeted outreach.
Our goal over the next 6 weeks is to move 10 students from moderate to at risk.
The attendance team will be:
- celebrating students with satisfactory attendance
- reaching out daily to targeted families
- scheduling SART (Student Attendance Review Team) Meetings
Teachers:
- when communicating with families discuss attendance
- reach out to families when students are absent
- celebrate great attendance days
Important Information-ALL
All adults should engage in active supervision (scanning, moving around, and anticipating issues) during recess and yard duty. It only takes a second for something to happen.
All personal days must be requested in advance via email.
It is a district requirement that all staff use their OUSD email for communication. Please ensure you check your OUSD email at least once daily. Reach out if you can not access your email account.
