This has been ...Thank you for your comment, Scott. This has been a major challenge for our school, and now that the State is using Chronic Absenteeism as one of our evaluation goals, we need to get everyone speaking the same message -- being in school is important! Our counselors even created a rap about being in school; we will be sharing it with our parents as well.

I know this sounds crazy, but when you have a smaller school this can be the norm. It certainly helps in creating consistency in learning. Students don't have to try and remember what they did a few days ago. Teachers don't need to spend a portion of their time "catching up" those that were absent. We feel very fortunate this is the case in our school. Scott Friedmanhttp://irishscott.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
