RaaWee Attendance Report - APRIL
We still need to improve attendance! Mondays and Fridays are now our days of the most absence. Please note ILLNESS can only have 14 days. After that regardless, it is unexcused without a medical note. Please make every effort to send your child as long as they are fever free without medicine and haven't vomited or had diarrhea for 24 hours. Our students have lost 266,000 minutes of class time. That has a huge impact. There is a direct relationship between absences and academic proficiency. We see it with many of our struggling readers.
Absences can now also be reported via Class DOJO to Mrs. Monse our attendance/typist clerk.

T-Shirt Sale - Limited Edition - SALES END 4/30 THIS TUESDAY
Mr. G has designed a limited edition t-shirt for staff and has decided to open up sales to students for a limited time. The flyer will be going home Wednesday. Sales MUST be done by 4/30. By big so students can grow into them for the next school year. Here we have two happy bobcats modeling the design.

Chromebooks and Student Responsibility
We want to bring to your attention the importance of discussing the proper care of district-issued student Chromebooks with your children. We have observed an increase in incidents involving damage, often linked to carelessness or misuse. As we address these situations, we want to remind you of the importance of engaging in discussions with your child about the proper care of their district-issued Chromebook. Students will be held responsible for any damages, and charges may apply for repairs. Principals will conduct thorough investigations in collaboration with students to ensure fair outcomes. Additionally, please remind your students to charge their Chromebooks overnight, ensuring they are ready for the next day's learning activities. Your involvement in these discussions is crucial, and we appreciate your attention to these matters.
California Dashboard
The California Dashboard is the accountability system designed by the state to monitor school progress in language arts, mathematics, suspension rates, attendance and our progress with English language learners. It has been redesigned since Covid but I wanted to share our most recent dashboard. We are making great improvements at Beckman. Thank you to students, staff and families for making it happen. Below is our current dashboard and our previous dashboard from 2022.
