A Note About Attendance
Attendance has been increasingly the focus of attention among school divisions and educators. According to research, regular attendance is a significant factor in a student’s success:
- Chronic absenteeism correlates to low academic achievement;
- Absenteeism is a powerful predictor of dropout rates;
- Absenteeism has been linked to poor outcomes later in life.
As part of our attendance incentive, each quarter, two students names are drawn for a special prize. Picture are our winners from the first and second quarter. Great job!
