As I mentioned during August PD, we will be focusing on attendance as one of our ABCD goals this school year. You are a critical component of us achieving our first goal to increase our daily attendance rate using a variety of recognition and celebration initiatives.
The
first step in achieving our goal is to engage your families in our school-wide
initiative by providing weekly updates in your classroom newsletters. Please
feel free to create an “attendance” section where you highlight your classroom
progress. For example, you could say, “Families, we had no tardies, absences,
nor early dismissals for two days this week. Earning us the “H” and “E” from
the word “HERE.” Once we spell the complete word, students will earn a
celebration. Please help us achieve this goal by avoiding absences, tardies and
early dismissals when possible. Thank you for your partnership.”
I
will be communicating all our attendance initiatives to all families in my
September 4 phone cast.
