Average Daily Attendance for SGE
Last Week's ADA for SGE: 94.3%
ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. Check out SGE's ADA trends in the chart above.
"98 IS Great!" We'll celebrate as a campus when we hit a week with 98% attendance!
We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able. Let's work for 98%!
Leader of the Pack
Introducing this week's Leader of the Pack...
Coach Keele says, "Culley stays and helps sweep up the trash under the table at the end of his lunch. His help is really appreciated." Way to be a leader, and way to set an example for other students, Culley!
Academics + Character = Success

Big Kahuna Pick-Up!
Big Kahuna is delivering orders to campus on Tuesday, December 3rd. Parents will need to plan on picking up packages from 1:00-4:00pm that day. We are not able to send orders home with students. Keep in mind that some items need to be refrigerated so pick-up should be timely! If you receive a text message from Big Kahuna, then you do have items to pick up. If you are unable to pick up your items, please send someone to pick them up for you.
Big Kahuna schedules the party bus, and once those plans are made, they will be communicated to students and families! We're still waiting on the dates!
Big Kahuna Party Bus!
The Big Kahuna party buses are coming to Shady Grove on Thursday, December 19th! Permission slips will be sent home with eligible students after we return from the Thanksgiving break!
Attendance Matters!
Responsible Attendance Adjustment
Starting this 3rd six weeks, we are upping the criteria for Responsible Attendance. Responsible Attendance will be defined at SGE as having not more than 1 absence, 1 tardy, OR 1 leave early!
As always, every six weeks is a clean slate and a new opportunity to earn recognitions! Regular school attendance is so very crucial because of its direct correlation to student achievement.
This six weeks, we're focusing on Habit 3: Put First Things First!
Be sure to view our Facebook page for pictures from the week!
