Unexcused Absences
In order to monitor excessive excused and unexcused absence, teachers use Pinnacle to take daily attendance. The attendance manager runs a report at the beginning of the following day using this data to determine if any teachers failed to enter their attendance. The assistant principal over attendance then follows up with these teachers to remind them to take accurate daily attendance so that we can run a correct skipping report. The skipping report is then processed and circulated to all teachers, who then follow up with individual students to determine the reason for the absence which will assist staff with identifying excessive absences. Additional reports are used to identify chronic attendance issues and further intervention take place with excessive or chronic behavior as outlined in the following Pattern of Non-attendance section.
Person Responsible for Unexcused Absence: Classroom teacher, attendance manager, respective grade level administrator and guidance counselor
