Staff and student wellbeing is key to the growth and success of our students. Last historical ESS data revealed there is room for growth in students’ enjoyment of school and instructional growth for teachers. We know that attendance is critical to student success and we need to reduce the number of students who are chronically absent.

1. Implement SEL & PBIS lessons throughout the school year.
2. Have effective communication with students and families who have attendance struggles.
3. Implement interventions for students who have attendance struggles.
4. The administrative team will ensure we are supporting staff through conversations about instruction/learning and staff development.
