Next year students and staff will frequently hear that ‘Every Minute Matters’, the theme of our district-wide attendance initiative. Over the past several months a group of staff, parents and administrators have worked together to design a variety of components to this comprehensive initiative. We all understand that regular attendance is critical to success in school and life. While many of our students and families share this belief, there are others who don’t consider school attendance a high priority. With this initiative we will be working to improve attendance at all schools, particularly for those students whose attendance is below 90%. The plan is to provide incentives, share lots of information through our website and social media, and communicate regularly about individual and collective attendance rates in order to bring the problem to light. Improving attendance is a complex problem, and we will need the support of staff, students and families across the District in order to make an impact. Through this initiative we hope to achieve the state’s target of at least 90% of students with 90% attendance, and even more importantly we hope to lay the foundation that will support students in being successful throughout their lives.
