Howard Happenings

Chronic Absence Update-24.8%
Goal-19%
Attendance Next Steps
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
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.
Important Information-Teachers
2nd through 5th grade students should take the SRI this month.
The 2nd Trimester Prep/Enrichment schedule begins this week.
