Clerical Attendance Feedback by MORGAN MCDOWELL https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7 Please anonymously to the various categories regarding attendance implementation so far this school year. You may add a heart if you agree. Goal: In 2024-2026, One91 will create a multi-pronged approach to system redesign around the question: How might we proactively decrease the amount of chronically absent students in our system? en-us 2025-10-09 17:09:34 UTC 2025-10-13 14:15:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f44d.png I think it is great that a coordinated effort is being established to improve attendance. https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629825601 2025-10-13 14:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629825601 More communication from families. Attendance rate has improved slightly from last year. https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629825686 2025-10-13 14:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629825686 I believe we need to look at moving to a system that requires teachers to mark attendance for every student not just if a student is absent https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629826728 2025-10-13 14:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629826728 Great that it is a district wide buy in https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629826834 2025-10-13 14:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629826834 More parents are calling in and stating a reason for being absent https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629827125 2025-10-13 14:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629827125 Parents who have students with good grades and don't take attendance seriously. https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629827290 2025-10-13 14:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629827290 This is getting families talking about attendance, more awareness https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629827639 2025-10-13 14:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629827639 Teachers do not want this on their plate in any way. https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629828300 2025-10-13 14:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629828300 Confusing Schedule for parents to understand at the high school https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629828561 2025-10-13 14:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629828561 Consistent attendance needs to be taken https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629828800 2025-10-13 14:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629828800 More education for families and how attendance impacts learning. https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629829441 2025-10-13 14:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629829441 As the parent of a student in the district, I received the text that my daughter missed 24 class periods. I immediately freaked out until I realized that was the three days she was out sick. I sent it to my daughter and it led me to have that conversation about the importance of attendance. https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629830413 2025-10-13 14:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629830413 I like that there is more communication and involvement with families mevansvorhies https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629830634 2025-10-13 14:07:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629830634 late arrivals and early pickups do not seem to be improving. https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629830757 2025-10-13 14:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629830757 Is everyone consistent on the attendance codes when a student is out of class but in school? sfelton7 https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629831916 2025-10-13 14:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629831916 there are a lot of parents calling in, leaving messages. Some think that they are going to be in trouble, some don't want "marks on their permanent records", some don't understand that the text nudges are reporting periods thinking they are days... so the reach out works! mevansvorhies https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629834112 2025-10-13 14:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629834112 Teachers need to take attendance within 10 minutes of the start of each classes per periods. Some are not even taking attendance so accuracy is not where it should be. mevansvorhies https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629836953 2025-10-13 14:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629836953 Because we have blocks but 2 classes within it so what is being reported in parentvue looks different so calls would report 7 classes missed but ParentVue showed 10. https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629837110 2025-10-13 14:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629837110 Clarifying attendance that secondary teachers are able to use on there end (since admin/attendance see different codes) mevansvorhies https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629838797 2025-10-13 14:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629838797 It would have been helpful for staff to have known ahead of time about the text nudge. We had so many calls that we had to try to explain, with very little info to give them in the moment. https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629840738 2025-10-13 14:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629840738 Creating a "one stop shop" for attendance taking, pulling reports for clerical staff, etc. We also need an "attendance cheat sheet" for what codes are appropriate for situations that teachers/admin can use (and not have to look in the handbook!) mevansvorhies https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629843160 2025-10-13 14:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcdowell53/c9ecuze18d08pra7/wish/3629843160
