Attendance Pathway

The speaker discusses their school's efforts to address chronic absenteeism and encourage positive attendance. They mention monthly assemblies to recognize perfect attendance, special incentives for students who are frequently absent, and creating a sense of community to promote attendance. They also mention partnering with Safe Routes to School to find ways for more students to come to school regularly. In this pathway towards meeting our attendance goals, you will learn about our school-wide efforts to attack chronic absenteeism and promote and incentivize positive attendance. We will highlight monthly perfect attendance at our citizenship assemblies, work with our high-flying, chronically absent kiddos and families with special incentives, and create a sense of community within pods to promote positive attendance for extra recess time or different kinds of parties. By partnering with Safe Routes to School, we hope to create a walking school bus or find creative solutions to get more of our students to come to school daily.
