Daybreak Elementary's Attendance Plan

Attendance Matters-Regular student attendance at school facilitates academic achievement by maximizing the interaction between students and teachers. Frequent absences of students from the day-to-day classroom experiences disrupt the instructional process. The benefits of instruction, once lost, cannot be entirely regained. The process of education requires a continuity of instruction, class participation, learning experience, and study. Therefore, we will make every effort to encourage regular attendance for all students and to assist parents in their responsibility to have their children attend school regularly.

Common Attendance Issues

• Chronic absenteeism, defined as missing ten percent or more of the academic year for any reason, including excused and unexcused absences.
• Truancy, defined by UCA 53G-6-201(7)(a) as a condition in which a school-age child, without valid excuse is absent for at least half the school day.

 

Possible Interventions

• Collaboration with teacher to help improve the student’s attendance habits
• Attendance contracts and positive behavior interventions
• Counseling of the student by school personnel
• Considerations of alternatives proposed by the parent or legal guardian
