Goal: Strategic Plan Goal 2   

Student attendance and absenteeism rates

• 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: Create a school culture of engagement & belonging for students and families. Every staff, student, and family will feel safe and connected to the school community.

• Strategy 3: Strengthen school team practices to monitor attendance data and determine need for intervention and additional support.
