9th Grade Classes Visited By Central Office Staff
Superintendent Erica Forti, along with Julie Church (Coordinator of Social Emotional Learning and Family Engagement) and Gisela Layedra (Family Engagement Specialist) have been visiting all 9th grade Launching Success classes this month to discuss the importance of attendance and why attendance matters. The students enjoyed the activity they did and they learned what can happen when they are absent and miss instructional time.
It is important for students to remember that high school (unlike middle school) is credit-driven, meaning students have to earn credit to move on to the next grade level. In order to earn credit, they have to pass their classes AND be in compliance with our attendance policy. If both of these conditions are not met, credit can be withheld and the student will fall behind in earning their 25 credits required for graduation.
Thank you to Superintendent Forti, Mrs Church and Mrs Layedra for reinforcing this important message!
