Update

The first semester our attendance rate was up 2% from the year before. Our average was over 94.5%. Although we were pleased with the progress, we are not satisfied. Our goal is over 96%. The second semester started fairly slow. As always we have had several students out with the flu. We are however starting to recover.

What we have used:
Frequent warning letters
Home visits
Filing truancy
Weekly conferences

All have had some success. Unfortunately, we often don't get the students' attention until it is too late. Hopefully we will have more success as the year goes on and into next year as well.
