Teachers, counselors, office staff and
administrators call home for each
student absence over 5.
students, staff and parents
should be more engaged in the
school, form positive
relationships with staff and want
to come to school.
If parents are kept informed of
school news, upcoming events,
and the 7 Mindsets clubhouse
meetings and activities then the
School Climate Rating should
increase as parents will feel more
informed and a part of the
school.
If staff meets with students
identified as missing 8 or more
days of school each morning, and
students receive rewards and
recognition for coming to school,
then student attendance should
increase. If teachers and parents
see daily reminders of the
number of students missing all or
part of school and staff calls
parents of students missing more
than 5 days then student
attendance should improve.
