Description

As Attendance Awareness Month comes to an end, we highlight a few schools' positive attendance in this week's #DestinationEducation Episode. #EveryDayMatters

A

Hello and welcome back to another destination education episode where the students and staff are the stars and with attendance, Awareness Month wrapping up. We would like to highlight some of the amazing attendance from our students at a few of our schools. During the second week of September, Sacajawea Elementary had 12 classes that had 98 or better attendance.

Every grade level also had at least one class on the 98 or better list. We want to make sure to celebrate these accomplishments, because attendance really does matter excessive absences. Even in early grades, can have long-term consequences.

A lot of learning is about momentum and it adds on what was learned the day before and then to really feel like you've got it you're there the whole week and cannot it builds up and over time you feel like man, I've got this I'm getting stronger and stronger and stronger, so anytime, you're out of that Rhythm. If you were absent actually as an adult Aura kid, then you just feel like I'm, not sure what everybody's doing. They obviously learned something yesterday that I don't know Mr.

Webster made sure to include teacher attendance with each class as well, because it is important that we are at school every day, so students are getting consistent instruction.

Now, Wilson Elementary is celebrating their great attendance by recognizing their classes on social media. Last week, teachers at Wilson rocked their cool hats because their classes rocked their attendance. 14 classes met their attendance goal for the week, so they were treated to extra recesses. All week long, a few other classes made sure to sign the everyday matters attendance poster making their commitment to their attendance.

Jefferson Middle School is celebrating their good attendance habits with an attend dance. Students who met their attendance goal for the month were able to celebrate at the attend dance during lunch on Friday.

The attend Dance is for anyone who has had two or fewer absences for the month and no tardies, so we set the bar really high saying if you need to be to class on time every day. We also know that sometimes that doesn't happen, so kids can earn back it's Hardy by doing community service around the school, helping out a teacher or a friend. They can earn back an absence if they check in with their teachers, get all the way caught up on work and the teacher signs off on that.

We all know unexpected things happen, and we don't want anyone to miss out on something that they're willing to go extra and work hard for.

Throughout the month of September, we have learned about why attendance is important, celebrated positive attendance and have taken on the challenge to ensure our students are ready to learn, because every day matters now make sure to tune in next week to see where the highlights will take me. Thank you for watching and have a great week.
