ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance. Average Daily Attendance is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. Check out SGE's ADA trends in the chart above.
We're going to "STRIVE FOR 95!" while also knowing that "98 IS Great!" We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able. Let's work for 98!
Good attendance is connected to increased reading proficiency, increased academic performance, and fewer behavior issues. Every day counts! Every minute counts too...
The state of Texas requires 75,600 instructional minutes per school year. We want students in their seat for as many minutes of the instructional day as possible. Teachers have so much to teach and students have so much to learn between the 7:40 and 3:20 bells. Again, we recognize that events arise that necessitate a late arrival or early check-out, but avoiding a pattern of tardies and early check-outs is helpful to the student AND the teacher!
