Absences

• Per 2023-24 school year data, 12.5% of students were abent 10% or more school days which indicates chronically absent.
• Each day the child is absent, FOCUS is programmed to initiate a notification to the parent communicating the absence from school, and remind the parent to contact the school to report the reason for absence.
• Monitoring Attendance with Fidelity
  • Attendance administrative designee and attendance clerk regularly monitor student attendance using the FOCUS platform.
  • Attendance is reviewed weekly to identify students with unexcused absences.
  • Maintain detailed records of all communications with parents/guardians
  • Engage parents/guardians as partners in their child's education.

• Sending Absence Letters

  • Five-Day Letter

    • Send a five-day letter to parents/guardians of any student with 5 unexcused absences through FOCUS.
    • The letter will notify parents/guardians of the absences and the importance of regular attendance.

  • Ten-Day Letter

    • Send a ten-day letter to parents/guardians of any student with 10 unexcused absences through FOCUS.
    • The letter will inform parents/guardians of the continued absences and potential consequences if attendance does not improve.
• Referral to the Attendance Team
