Attendance Update

Did you know that missing 18 days in a school year is considered chronically absent? This not only impacts students’ academic wellbeing, but also their social relationships with their peers. McMillin’s Chronic Absenteeism Rate for the 23-24 school year was 12%. We dropped an outstanding 6% from the year prior! We’d like to continue that trend and our chronic absenteeism goal for this year is 8%.

Here’s our attendance from last week. Our goal is to reach 97% attendance overall each week.  Our overall average last week was: 93.68 %.

We miss you when you’re out!

CVESD Parent University Workshop

CVESD University is a learning experience for parents and guardians. The program’s goal is to provide families with the tools needed to engage in their child’s educational journey in a fun, engaging program. The CVESD University Page can be visited by clicking HERE 

The next workshop is “Reading FUNdamentals!” on Tuesday December 17th from 8:45-9:45 am, at the District Office.  Families will learn easily adaptable reading strategies they can practice at home with their child.
