Inspiring Passionate Learners
Why is the Attendance Window so Important?
Why is this important?
- Our school board's goal is for all schools to have a minimum of 98% of our students in attendance each day so that mastery of learning occurs and dropout rates decrease.
- We receive $65 per pupil per day they are at school. This is how public education is funded from our salaries to all of our supplies.
What happens if you do your attendance before 9:30 and after 9:45?
- If we are audited on that day, you lose $65 per pupil for that day of funding for our district. For a class of 22, that's $1,430.
Help us reach our goal of 100% of our teachers submitting attendance on time. Kati is running a report each week for the office team to review. All teams who reach 100% will receive early release passes. When our entire school reaches 100%, Thirsty Thursday is on the house.
For teachers who are consistently unable to enter attendance on time, you will confer with Kim or me to co-create a plan of success for you.
