At Grange we have two different incentive programs we are using this year to help us focus on attendance.
First, we have our quarterly triple A awards. These awards focus on the categories of achievement (grades), attitude, and attendance. Those students that have perfect-perfect attendance (no tardies or absences) are awarded at a quarterly ceremony in front of their peers and parents.
Our second program is new this year and is intended to help us address our chronically absent students. Each quarter we look at a list of students that were chronically absent, break them into smaller groups and each assistant principal and counselor take a group. We then check in with these students and offer incentives for students attending school. Incentives include an out to lunch early pass or treat of their choice.
