Attendance Matters

We recognized students with good attendance and positive office referrals at our assembly today.  We also announced the winner of the November attendance challenge.  Mr. Schmitz's class won the challenge with over 99% average daily attendance for the month.  Way to go!  If you were paying attention, you will remember that they were one of two winners in our October Attendance Bingo Challenge.  We had 5 classrooms who were at 98% or higher.  Our school average was nearly 97%, which is above our district goal of 95%.

We gave gift certificates to students with perfect attendance.  46 students had perfect attendance for the first trimester.  That is more than 10% of our students, quite an accomplishment.

Here is a summary by grade of our attendance for November.  The last column is the one we use, the ADA%.  ADA stands for average daily attendance.
