Bertram's ADA for was 94.04

ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. 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.

• Did you know that just 2 absences in a Six Weeks can mean YOUR child is CHRONICALLY ABSENT?
• Do you know the research about Chronically Absent student performance?
• Did you know that when Absences ADD UP this one statistic can contribute to below grade-level achievement and increase in social emotional anxiety for students?
• Attendance matters and absences add up! Make every day count.

We start each week with an assembly and, when we returned in January, our students began leading the assemblies. The students lead the pledges, acknowledge birthdays, share announcements, and lead us in a 7 Habits lesson.

Our 5th graders started us off by teaching us that change starts with me, we all have genius, and we all have the potential to be leaders. They did a great job showing us what good leaders are. 4th grade then took over and have shared don't react and be the one to shake the soda, instead, be calm and handle the situation in a proactive way.

These weekly assemblies are a great opportunity for our students to practice leadership, public speaking, and reinforce the 7 Habits. Each class has taken their role very seriously and done a great job!
