Grade 6 - Attendance Reflections by Amy Recks https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu en-us 2023-10-03 18:31:47 UTC 2023-11-10 20:33:29 UTC hello@padlet.com No school connections. Not liking school. Lack of sleep. Other responsibilities. https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2781862817 2023-11-08 16:23:54 UTC https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2781862817 Continuing to reach out to parents until you’ve made contact. https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2781864186 2023-11-08 16:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2781864186 Genuinely welcome the student to class. Praise his/her successes. Check in on the student privately. https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2781865267 2023-11-08 16:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2781865267 Absence rate/grade level data is alarming and can be improved. But, nothing is surprising. https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2781869028 2023-11-08 16:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2781869028 I wonder if the fact all students are bus riders have an impact on attendance. If they miss the bus, do those students still have a way to come to school? https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2782206810 2023-11-08 20:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2782206810 Definitely make students feel welcomed when they return. Make sure we are not making any facial gestures that would make them not want to be here. Keep the push to make contacts home. https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2782208220 2023-11-08 20:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2782208220 Making contact but no change in behaviors. Not making contact in the first place. https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2782208655 2023-11-08 20:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2782208655 I also wonder about this 100% bus riders of our students. Not being close enough to walk or still arrive at the school must be a factor. If a student is facing other issues - whether related to school or at home, we are not always aware and therefore not able to provide support. https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2782209664 2023-11-08 20:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2782209664 Parents are not returning phones calls or responding to emails. Also, some contact number on synergy are the same as the students contact number and many times the students carry the cell phones instead of the parents. https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2783581725 2023-11-09 15:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2783581725 absence rate and demographic breakdown surprised me a bit https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2785319902 2023-11-10 19:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2785319902 more incentive days, more food for kids. https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2785324950 2023-11-10 20:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2785324950 time + ability to contact. language not a barrier for me. reaching parents is sometimes an issue. https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2785328853 2023-11-10 20:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2785328853 language barriers/challenges, cultural differences... diverse school with a variety of cultures. their home country culture/diversity intensity/levels may be different and school may be more intimidating here, for a variety of reasons (different looking teachers, peers, different lingo, different neighborhoods, everything is new, everything may be overwhelming and they may not feel ideally, perfectly welcomed in every encounter/setting) https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2785340225 2023-11-10 20:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/amyjrecks/wguqpficpbmeb3qu/wish/2785340225
