Attendance and Reading Levels

• Attendance = school success • Home reading and parent support is as

important as what students do in school• About 16 of our students have attended less than

¼ of their morning classes this year (80% recommended)

• We have some students who have missed two and three years of school and are working two and three grade levels below where they should be… it becomes very hard for these students in Grade 9 & 10

How can we keep this going?

• It does not matter how good the program is, how many after school events we have, ….if the students are not there every day they fall behind, they never learn what school behaviour looks like, have trouble focusing and taking care and pride in their work

• Look at how attendance affects reading levels:• Staff Literacy coach position

Enrollment, Attendance & the Retrofit

• This is an issue – our enrollment has dropped – especially last year – losing staff, ability to deliver quality programming, resources

• Other schools are having same issues of lower enrollment. But - Chief Sunrise has the same number of students that we do and had a major renovation years ago.

• What can we do? IDEAS?
