• Attendance Data

• Current year        

• Last year:

• Progress has been made compared to last year around this time!  

We need to work with our community to prevent the 15% at risk from becoming chronically absent to meet our CEP goals.  Unfortunately, , despite our initiatives, there is a 1 percent increase in chronically absent students this year as compared to last.  There are many absences on parent teacher conferences dates.  Some parents are requesting to have remote school on that day.  Parents should reach out to the chancellor if a remote day is preferred.
