Superintendent Scott Lair urges daily attendance in student broadcast, previews expanded video messages
Summary
During a student-produced Oak Hill Elementary broadcast, Superintendent Scott Lair emphasized that daily attendance is critical for learning and relationships, encouraged scheduling vacations outside school days and said the district will expand superintendent video messages and showcase student SEVA studios.
Superintendent Scott Lair used a student-hosted broadcast to press parents and students on daily attendance and to preview expanded superintendent video messages.
"Attendance is probably one of the most critical things you can do," Lair said, describing being present in class as essential for learning, building confidence and maintaining relationships with teachers and peers. He encouraged families to schedule vacations outside school days when possible and to keep children home only when they are ill.
Lair also discussed the district's communication plans during the Otter Outlook episode. He said the district will continue superintendent video messages and expand them beyond Center High School to visit all schools and highlight student work filmed in SEVA studios.
The broadcast was produced by students at Oak Hill Elementary as part of their Otter Outlook program. Ari, a student host, asked Lair what she likes most about the program; Ari said Otter Outlook is a team where classmates support one another to produce monthly episodes.
Next steps: The remarks were part of a brief monthly update; no new attendance policy or enforcement action was announced on the program.
