K.I. Jones Attendance Rises!

We are super proud to report that school wide attendance has improved and we are meeting our attendance goal!  Emphasis on attendance each Monday in the daily announcements, competition among classes in grade levels, attendance awards at assemblies, emphasis on celebrating STAFF attendance, posting attendance messages in our main hallway, and supporting it on the marquee has paid off!  Reaching out personally to families and creating important relationships has helped as well.  We are currently meeting our goal of  a 97% attendance rate.

For the 2016-17 school year, we plan to focus a majority of our attention on grades TK - 1 as they are the grades with the biggest rate of chronic absenteeism.
