Goals for the Attendance Plan
- A school's response for this section should be in SMART format for improving attendance for each category reported in the data tables.
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Realistic/Rewarding
- Timely
- Address early grades at your school level (K & 1, 6th Grade, 9th Grade). Analyze school-wide data to determine needs at grade levels and times of year when challenges occur more often.
School attendance data are provided reporting percent of students with satisfactory attendance, at-risk attendance, chronic absenteeism, and severe chronic absenteeism. The two-year trend allows for comparison of attendance over time and an indication of how strategies implemented to improve attendance are working. | Attendance Category | Percent of days missed | Levels of strategies and Interventions |
|---|
| 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 |
By the end of June 2019, the number of severe chronic absences will decrease to below 2%. According to the 2016-2017 school year data, our severe chronic absences were 3.58% across K-5. According to the 2017-2018 school year data, our severe chronic absences were 5.02%. This data is being populated through virtual counselor, DWH reports, and can be found in BASIS. This information will be accssed and used for comparison, on a quarterly basis, to benchmark improvement. Our long term goal by the end of June 2019, is to increase attendance by decreasing the number of students severe chronically absent to no more than 2% by evidenced by virtual counselor and DWH reports.
