LCAP Attendance Goals 2016 -17 2015 -16 Goals: • • 71% (96% or higher) 10% (Chronic) The 2016 -17 District attendance goal is for: • 73% of students to maintain an attendance rate of 96% or higher throughout the school year • Less than 11% of students to be chronically absent (missing 9% or more of the school year)

Understanding the LCAP Attendance Goal For students who attend the entire 180 -day school year: • Students cannot miss more than 7 days all year to maintain Proficient/Advanced Attendance (96% or more) • Students who miss 15 days or more are considered chronically absent.

Understanding the LCAP Attendance Goal (continued) • To maintain Proficient/Advanced Attendance, students may miss no more than 1 day for every 25 days enrolled. See Tool #1 Handout How many days can a student miss to still be considered as having Prof/Adv attendance by the end of November? *Please note that these breakdowns apply to students who have been enrolled continuously since the first day of school. Students who enroll late will have fewer days of instruction, and must therefore miss fewer days of school to maintain a 96% attendance rate.

Importance of Attendance Submittal • Student attendance defaults to “Absent” if attendance is not submitted • We are reporting lower attendance because of this rule. • Schools are not changing absences to tardies: • Ensure students who are arrive late to class are changed from Absent Tardy • In order for attendance to be submitted, staff must click “Submit Attendance” and “OK” to certify

Attendance Strategies (Teach and Reinforce) Ensure Accurate Attendance-taking. Prevent Absenteeism. Promote Attendance during the Holiday months with Incentives.

Plan for Attendance & Dropout Prevention Plan Safe School Plan: Chapters 5 b and 7 § Ensure procedures are in place for all categories § Communicate your clear attendance and tardy policy regularly with staff, students, parents using a variety of methods (phone, assemblies, meetings, bulletin boards, newsletters, etc. ) § Promote staff and student attendance with incentives § Intervene with students and staff as necessary to minimize absences

Attendance Improvement Tools and Resources Attendance Tools and Resources

Communicate Attendance Expectations § See Tool #2 “Parent/Guardian Sample Letter” and Tool #3 “Sample Newsletter”:

Ensure Accurate Attendance-Taking § § Ensure 100% attendance submittal by all teachers. Run ANS reports twice daily (e. g. , 9: 30 am and 3 pm). Remind staff by PA, phone, memo from administrator (on Mi. S from ANS Report) See Tool #4 “Attendance Strategies” Tool for teacher memo: MISIS TEACHER MEMO RE: ANS Memo reads: “The system is showing that attendance records below are incomplete or have not been submitted on the specified dates…” Choose YES on “Print Teacher Memo”

Ensure Accurate Attendance-Taking (continued) § Run Discrepancy report twice daily (secondary schools) § Ensure records are updated § Tardies (change absences to tardies) § L-out on last date of attendance § Enter appropriate absence codes, clear absences § SAA reviews Student Monthly Attendance Summary Report (SMASR) at least monthly for errors § See Tool #5 “Attendance Submittal Memo Sample” Tool for teacher memo: SAMPLE TEACHER MEMO

Prevent Absenteeism § Remind staff and students that attendance is mandatory, especially on dates with high absenteeism: § Friday, November 18 and Monday, November 28 (Day before and after the Thanksgiving break) § Friday, December 16 and Monday, January 9 (Day before and after the Winter break) § Friday, January 13 and Tuesday, January 17 (Day before and after MLK Holiday) § Friday, February 17 and Tuesday, February 21 (Day before and after President’s Day) § Friday, April 7 and Monday, April 17 (Day before and after Spring Recess)

Prevent Absenteeism (continued) § Use PA announcements, letters and/or Blackboard Connect messages to all parents and staff during holidays § See Tool #6 “Sample Blackboard Connect & PA Messages”:

Prevent Absenteeism (continued) § Ensure teachers schedule rigorous lesson plans and activities for students every day, but particularly on dates adjacent to days off. § Ensure teachers promote class attendance every day, even during the days before and after the holidays. § Schedule exams and finals through the last day before the break. § Prevent tardies with engaging, or required activities early in the day or period § See Tool #7 “Sample Teacher Memo for Importance of Attendance DURING HOLIDAYS”:

Promote Attendance through Incentives § Schedule special events and attendance incentive activities on the last day before a break or first day after a break. § Promote attendance for all students with 100% during November and/or December with an incentive. § See Tools 8, 9, 10 “Examples of Holiday flyers and incentives” Tool for students and parents:
