At Davis, our goal is for all of our students to be successful! Our MTSS process is designed to meet the needs of the whole child. Georgia MTSS is grounded in the belief that academics, behavior, and wellbeing are interconnected and impact student success.

​GaMTSS relies on academic, behavior, and wellbeing data to inform decision making. Effective data based decision making begins with a system to gather the necessary data, such as screening, progress monitoring, implementation fidelity, and student outcomes. By analyzing meaningful data using a consistent problem-solving process, educators can accurately identify trends, patterns, and areas for improvement.

As part of the MTSS process at Davis, your child will receive multiple universal screeners given throughout the school year. If you have any questions about these screeners or their results please contact Jessica Howard, jessicahoward@dadecs.org or Courtney Lewis, courtneylewis@dadecs.org.

• Only six (6) parent notes for student absences will be accepted throughout the school year without medical documentation.

• After 2 days of unexcused absence, the parent/guardian will be contacted by the child’s teacher with a reminder of our attendance policies.

• After 3 days of unexcused absences, the counselor will notify the parent/guardian of our policies and request parent and/or medical excuses.

• When a student misses 4 unexcused days, the parent/guardian will be sent a letter regarding the attendance policy and a request for parent and/or medical excuses.

• When a student has accumulated 5 unexcused absences, the principal will call a meeting with the parent/guardian to discuss Georgia law regarding attendance.

• Upon the 6th unexcused absence, the parent/guardian will receive a certified letter, sent by the judicial system informing them of the time and date they are to meet with the Dade County Truancy Treatment Team. A plan for attendance for the student will be developed at that time and a contract will be signed.

• If the contract is not followed and another unexcused absence occurs, the parent will be referred to the judicial system.

• Acceptable excuses:

1. Student illness (Parent notes will be accepted for 6 days of absence only)

2. Serious illness or death in the immediate family

3. Court order

4. Observation of religious holidays of the student’s faith

5. Conditions which render attendance impossible or hazardous to student’s health/safety

6. If your child is in the hospital or has a doctor’s note stating that he/she will be subject to an extended period out of school due to his/her illness; please contact your child’s teacher, a counselor or an administrator as soon as possible.

**Excuses must be in writing and turned in to the student’s homeroom teacher or front office.
