Average Daily Attendance for SGE
Last Week's ADA for SGE: 93.18%
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%!
Big Kahuna ends in 1 Week!
There is one week left of the Big Kahuna Fundraiser which ends Friday, October 18th! Please turn in order forms and money collected on Friday, 10/18.
Our campus is allowed one fundraiser per year, and this is it! The money raised in this fundraiser will be used to enrich the environment for Shady Grove students and staff with things such as student incentives, staff awards, instructional supplies and resources, and family involvement activities. To give you an idea of the many ways these funds are used, we've listed some of the things purchased with last year's Big Kahuna proceeds:
- Children's' books used for individualized reading instruction
- Field trip T-shirts for every student
- Supplies for the Turkey Trot and Fall Carnival
- Classroom supplies
- Staff appreciation items
- Student attendance incentives
The funds raised in this fundraiser go a long way in helping SGE be the place to be! We thank you in advance for your support!
Unity Day: Anti-Bullying Awareness
Unity Day, October 16th, is a day to come together and send one, large, ORANGE message of support, hope and unity! Wear ORANGE to show we are UNITED against bullying!
Play It Safe
Play-It-Safe presentations will take place on October 23rd & 24th.
Play it Safe!® is a child abuse awareness and prevention program that uses age-appropriate materials to educate children in how to reduce their risk of abuse by recognizing potentially abusive behavior, responding appropriately to threatening situations, and reporting abuse to a trusted adult. The program is presented by the Hill Country Children's Advocacy Center.
