Dear RMA Colleagues,

September 2nd - Labor Day

September 15th - October 15th - Hispanic Heritage Month

The RMA Lubbock PM NCCER Core group excelled in their first performance task by properly wearing required personal protective equipment, consisting of gloves, hard hats, safety glasses, and hearing protection.

RMA Corpus Christi is so excited to announce that our campus took 60 of our students to the USS Lexington on August 29th!!

This trip was completely paid for by a grant that the USS Lexington received for schools that aren't able to get out into the community as easily.

We are so excited that the USS Lexington chose us, and we had an amazing time aboard the ship while learning about the history of the Lex.

GO BULLDOGS!!!

According to the U.S. Department of Education, more than 6.5 million students nationwide—or 13 percent of all students—are chronically absent, defined as being absent 15 or more school days during the school year. This includes:

• More than 3 million high school students, or 18 percent of all high school students
• 22 percent of black and 20 percent of Latino high school students
• 20 percent of all English learner high school students
• More than 3.5 million elementary school students, or 11 percent of all elementary school students (black elementary school students are 1.4 times more likely to be chronically absent than white elementary school students)

Strategies for Success

2. Create a mentor program

3. Monitor attendance and follow up on students with weak attendance

4. Minimize obstacles to attendance

5. Create opportunities for meaningful involvement

6. Treat kids with dignity and respect—as if they were your own.

7. Consider alternatives to suspension.

8. Teachers should model excellent attendance.
