Why Attendance?
- We have seen an increased in student absenteeism state-wide, and that is also true for our Tbirds
- Attendance is important for: 1. Learning 2. Safety 3. Being on track for graduation
What is our Goal? Why start now?
- We want to see an improvement in attendance week to week
- We are using 4th term as a pilot to see what improvements we can make, and collect additional insights moving forward into next school year
How will I know if I don’t have great attendance
- Daily text and phone calls to parents will be sent out
- Your PowerSchool homepage will change colors based on your attendance
- Green= Good
- Yellow= Concerning
- Red= Needs help
- We will be using a point system to determine what color your attendance is
- Tardy (T) = 1 point
- Late Tardy (3) = 2 points
- Unexcused Absence (A) = 4 points
- Sluff (U) = 6 points
- 0 – 12 points is good
- 13 – 19 points is okay
- 20 + points will initiate consequences
How do I fix my attendance? What if I don’t fix it?
- A.R.C= Academic Recovery Class (class offered before school, during lunch and after school) to help makeup time
- Students in the Red will be put on a Non-Participation List (all extracurriculars for that student will be paused till attendance is taken care of)
- If need, an In School Academic Mentoring will occur to help students during school hours to recover time lost in class
- If need, an appointment with parent, student and admin will be setup to discuss steps forward
Rewards & Incentives

- Turning some of our 2 lunches into 1 lunch
