Based on data from SY21-22, 30% (666) of students missed 5 days of school or more of school. This year, as a result of our focus on using Advisory and student recognition to help students feel more connected to school as well as our targeted MTSS support,our goal is that this number will decrease to 20% (435) of students who miss 5 or more days of school.

Strategy 1: 

Students will develop relationships, connection and belonging through participation in advisory lessons.

Strategy 2: 

Provide targeted support to students demonstrating Tier 2 and Tier 3 wellness, behavior and attendance concerns.
