Each month, I will include a note about attendance to be included in the newsletter sent home by Mrs. Goodwin.
I am running reports each week to determine chronic absentee students. I am reaching out to their parents to see if there is anything we as a school can do to help get their children to school each day. Of course, there are legitimate illnesses and family emergencies and we all know there are some years that these things just seem to pile on. Opening the conversation with our parents is the first key to success.
Each month, classes with 100% perfect attendance will be recognized with a prize. Help encourage your students to be here each day!
