Thank you for your discussion, feedback, and support
during our staff meeting around our school goal to decrease our chronic
absenteeism rate from 16.2% (17.18 EOY) to 13% (18.19 EOY) by upholding our attendance policy and using positive, proactive
initiatives and incentives.
As
discussed, teachers will…
- · reach out to families with students who have 2 & 4 absences and “cc” deans on the communication.
o Please feel free to “tweak” the email templates that
I sent out to add your personal touch or if you have a unique situation.
- · promote Perfect Daily Attendance. Every classroom will try to spell out the word ATTENDANCE on the board (a letter each day that all students are present, on time, and with no early dismissals. 10 days of perfect daily attendance receives a classroom reward that is determine by the teacher (not to exceed 30 mins).
o Don’t forget to include
this in your weekly newsletter to parents.
Please
make sure to notify me when your class spells out the word ATTENDANCE, so that
I can announce it during Opening Ceremony and in my Monday Night Phone Call.
