ATTENDANCE

Roslyn Public Schools will:

Nurture a culture of attendance

● Communicate clearly to families and students regarding our attendance policy and expectations for participating based on the model of instruction.

● Explain the importance of attendance to the entire school community.

● Track daily attendance and tardies using PowerSchool.

Conduct early identification and intervention

● Each school regularly monitors attendance data and communicates with parents about issues as they arise.

● Use data to identify which students are at risk, so we can intervene before isolated absences become chronic absenteeism.

● Establish intervention plans; parent phone call, home visit, counseling, and/or instructional modifications.

Create a more positive school culture and a focus on engaging instruction

● Evaluate and address student engagement in learning.

● Provide teachers and school leaders with multiple levels of support to help students stay more engaged and act positively.

● Help students achieve positive social and emotional character development through specific programs, while reinforcing the behaviors that foster and build our school culture.
