A)
Attendance:
Thank you to the Science department for having 100% attendance submittal. Great job Falcons!
Taking accurate attendance is a major concern we are having. Students are being marked present when they are not at school. This is causing inaccurate attendance reporting and is also causing concerns with parents regarding students attendance.
We need to continuing reminding our students the importance of being in school and in class. Remember 96% or higher attendance rate for every student.
Please continue to use the PSA online referral form if you have a concern regarding any students attendance. The PSA's will respond to the referral in a timely manner.
