- 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 June 2019, Sunset Lakes will successfully decrease the number of at-risk absences by 5% at each grade level, while simultaneously deceasing the number of chronic absences by 3% as measured by BASIS data.
