NO SCHOOL: Monday, January 15, 2024
Let’s Partner Together AGAIN this Trimester- Attendance Matters!
Attendance MATTERS! Our goal is for every student to have at least 90% attendance. Students can achieve this by missing no more than 7 absences per class each trimester.
We understand that life gets busy and students need to be absent for various reasons, but we ask that every attempt is made for your student to miss as little as possible and these are some of the reasons why:
**Academic Success** Consistent attendance is directly linked to academic success. Students who attend class regularly are more likely to keep up with the curriculum, understand the material, and perform well on assessments.
**Classroom Engagement** Being present in the classroom allows students to actively engage with the learning process. They can participate in discussions, ask questions, and collaborate with their peers, enhancing their overall educational experience.
**Building a Strong Work Ethic** Regular attendance instills a sense of responsibility and discipline. These are important qualities that contribute to the development of a strong work ethic, which is essential for success not only in academics but also in future careers.
**Social and Emotional Development** School is not just about academics; it’s also a place for social interaction and personal growth. Regular attendance ensures that students have the opportunity to build relationships with teachers and peers, fostering a supportive and positive learning environment.
**Consistency in Learning** Learning is a cumulative process, and missing classes can lead to gaps in understanding. Regular attendance ensures that students receive consistent instruction, making it easier for them to grasp and retain information.
**Responsibility and Accountability** Regular attendance teaches students the importance of being accountable for their commitments. It helps them develop the skills needed to balance various responsibilities, which is a valuable life skill.
Please partner with us to help support this initiative- Attendance Matters!

Failing Grade Letters 1/16-
The first round of failing grade notifications for Trimester 2 will be sent via school messenger to students & families (students with 0-59% in one or more classes) on TUESDAY afternoon, January 16th.
Student Absences & Make Up Classwork-
If a student has an absence that will extend multiple days, we encourage them to communicate directly with their classroom teachers- prior to the absence (when possible), throughout the absence and also immediately upon returning. As a reminder, students are awarded the same number of days they were absent to make up work when a parent/guardian excuses the absence. Assignments due to unexcused absences (parent does not report within 72 hours), truancy and skipping class are instances when classwork may not be made up and the student may receive a zero.
Unexcused Absences/Tardy Notifications- PowerSchool automatically sends parents/guardians a daily notification (around 4 PM) for students with Tardies & Unexcused Absences for that day. If you believe you received the notification in error or forgot to report the absence, please contact the High School Attendance Desk within 72 hours to update the record. Absence Voicemail Box cna be reached at 734.401.4387– please make sure to leave a clear and detailed message that includes the following: Student First & Last Name, Date of Absence, Reason for Absence and Name of the Person Reporting the Absence.
