A Message from the Principal...
Dear friends,
As you know, Superintendent Kim-Phelps has made student attendance a priority this school year. Millions of dollars are lost each year due to students not attending school. These funds can be used to provide important instructional resources and staff, and for this reason the PFT is in full support of this initiative. Last week, all principals received a report detailing how their staff was doing in terms of tracking student attendance through the month of October. At Twin Peaks we did a really good job during the months of August and September, but October was horrible. Can you believe we missed taking attendance in 130 periods in October alone? For some reason, conference days and late start Thursdays have the highest number of missed periods. Taking attendance during Ram also seems to be a challenge for some. On a positive note, 20% of you have not missed a single period all year! Thank you for that. Moving forward, I am going to ask that we all be diligent about this work. I know it can be annoying, but it is necessary.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
See below for the feel good story of the year...
