Attendance is a primary concern at Sem Yeto satellite. In an effort to encourage students to attend on a more frequent basis; any student attaining over a 90% attendance rate for a quarter is rewarded with a quarterly award party.
For the 2016/2017 school year, we will endeavor to improve on our attendance rates at both campuses by allotting a portion of our beginning of the school year orientation to talking with parents and students about the importance of attending school. Any student identified by our staff as having attendance issues from the prior year (whether a returning or incoming student), will receive a letter in the mail about the importance of attendance. We are in the process of designing an orientation checklist that must be completely filled out in order for students to receive their schedules.
During our orientation, identified students will meet with our attendance liaison, counselor, college and career technician, and mental health clinician to develop a plan for attending school everyday and charting a course for success in school and in life before receiving their schedule.
