1 | Nashville School District Counseling Program Goal DATA REVIEW 2022-2023 |
---|---|
2 | Goal: To work collaboratively with other school personnel to improve the attendance rate for Nashville Primary, Nashville Elementary, Nashville Junior High, and Nashville High School by 1% in the 2022-2023 school year. |
3 | |
4 | After a series of lessons, both whole group and small group, on attendance, NPS saw a slight decrease in attendance rate. We believe this may be due, in part, to quarantine days not counting towards absences in the 21-22 school year. While we did not reach our goal we will continue our efforts in improving the attendance rate. |
