Attendance in early grades builds a foundation for students in later grades. Students gain positive habits, strong academic foundations, and confidence to succeed throughout school. Research shows a direct correlation to chronic absenteeism and reading levels in 3rd grade!
Mrs. Brabham and Mrs. Cash's 5th grade RTI class did a book signing today for the book they created and published. Theri book was entered into The National Book Challenge Contest.
There will be no school for students, Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 4th due to Election Day.
What is the difference in truancy and chronically absent?
Chronically absent counts all absences: excused, unexcused, and suspensions and has a high negative impact on school success. Students who miss more than 10% of the school year are considered chronically absent.
Truancy is unexcused absences only. Families who continue to be truant will be required to attend a meeting with school officials and possibly a court appearance.
