Attendance (TEC 39.106 and P.L.

1114 (b))
What is the relationship between attendance and student achievement?
1. Analyze low performance and students failures. Look at students by group, teacher,
tier, grade level. What is the relationship between attendance and student
achievement? Varies from grade level to grade level. We will look at the data and
spreadsheet
Use 1st and 2nd six weeks failure report to compare and contrast against attendance,
tardies and early dismissals. How are the daily, weekly, six week attendance % affected
by student group, grade level, teacher? Those that failed are not affected by
attendance
2. Evaluate attendance and tardy procedures including timeliness, effectiveness and
implementation: 3 unexcused absences a letter is generated. There will be an
Intervention meeting with the Counselor, AP, Parents, and truancy officer to establish
interventions for students who have had 6 unexcused absences after the letters been
generated
3. Evaluate recovery/reteach strategies. When students are habitually tardy, what are
we doing to ensure they receive the instruction that they missed, etc? What are the
campus procedures to track and respond to unexcused absences, tardiness and other
practices to improve attendance? 3 unexcused absences a letter is generated. There
will be an Intervention meeting with the Counselor, AP, Parents, and truancy officer to
establish interventions for students who have had 6 unexcused absences after the
letters been generated. The PBIS and attendance committee started fun incentives for
those students who earned perfect attendance to attend school every 6 weeks. A
mystery prize drawing will occur at the end of the year for those who attained perfect
attendance the entire year.
