Chronic Absenteeism

Outcome: Student attendance and absenteeism rates.

Measurable Outcome: By the end of the 2023-24 school year, we will reduce our school’s chronic absenteeism rate to below 20% as evidenced by our school’s chronic absenteeism rate.

Strategy 1

Strengthening messaging to staff, students and families around attendance to school. Each stakeholder should be able to understand how daily attendance matters, not only for academic success, but because school offers an opportunity to develop social and emotional skills such as listening, paying attention, problem-solving and self-regulation, all which are needed to grow and learn.

Strategy 2

Strengthen school team practices to monitor attendance data and determine need for intervention and additional support.
