ABCDE Goal-Attendance

I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible progress we are making with student attendance. Our MICIP attendance goal is to decrease our total number of student absences by 10% over three years, moving from 8,406 absences in the 2023-24 school year to 7,566 absences or fewer by 2027.

I am excited to share that we are currently exceeding our goal. At this point in the year, we have reduced total absences to 5,674.

This growth is not accidental. It is the result of your consistency, relationship-building, communication with families, and commitment to creating classrooms where students want to be each day. Every phone call, attendance conversation, morning greeting, and effort to engage students matters. However, because this is a three-year goal, it is important that we maintain this progress and continue building on the systems and practices that are helping us succeed.

As we head into the final four weeks of school, we must continue holding families accountable and reinforcing the importance of students being present every day through the end of the school year.

Affirmations

 

Andria and Sally for going above and beyond to make sure I had a winner. Thank you for taking this off my list when I was drowning in deadlines.

Emily for nominating us for a grant. Thank you for spotlighting Keystone and seeking opportunities to bring additional resources to our school community.

Monique for taking the initiative to wash the dishes in the sink. Even though this week is about celebrating staff, you still chose to step up and help where it was needed. That kind of selflessness doesn’t go unnoticed.

Tameka, Monique, Cayla, Kim J., Stefanie, and Kathleen for staying after school to attend the silent dance party. Your presence helped create a joyful experience for our students.
