Satisfactory Attendance | 0 - 4.99 | Tier 1 | At-Risk Attendance | 5.0 - 9.99 | Tier 1 and 2 | Chronic Absenteeism | 10.0 - 19.99 | Tier 1, 2, and 3 | Severe Chronic Absenteeism | 20.0% or higher | Tier 1, 2, and 3 |

The parent must come into the school to meet with the grade level counselor and the School Social Worker. An attendance agreement is also signed at that time.
Reports are viewed by the Socal worker and Counselors regarding attendance. Teachers also utilize the ssw and guidance referral for excessive tardies and absences.
