Taking Attendance
I would like to provide a little background on the emphasis we've placed with attendance the past couple weeks and why some of you might receive a friendly reminder from Nicole Weaver in Attendance. The object is not for us to get you in a "gotcha moment". Please see the main reasons below:
- Student Safety is #1. We need to know where students are. When a student's attendance is not accurate it puts us in a bind trying to locate a student or when they show up absent in one class, but not in another. Students marked absent generates responses and contacts from the school. Again, if this is not accurate those calls don't go out.
- Our district is working to provide buildings with more accurate data to help drive decisions for our Tier Teams. One of these data points include that we have teachers taking attendance each period. Looking at this data we have identified areas in our building needing attention.
Thank you for your help with the attendance. Please see me if you have any questions.
