Superintendent presentation: district reports attendance rise to 75% and sets new 82% goal
Summary
Mapleton SD 32 staff reported marked improvements in attendance—citing a 75% share of students attending 90%+ of days—and outlined a new district attendance goal of 82%, alongside communications and student-support strategies.
During the integrated-plan presentation, the Presenter reported district attendance improvements and laid out strategies intended to sustain the gains. The Presenter said the district was “up to 75%” of students attending 90% or more of days and proposed raising the district goal to 82% for the coming year.
The presentation tied attendance gains to practices such as community circles in K–6 classrooms, a morning crew/advisory model for 7–12, increased ParentSquare adoption for two-way family communications, and targeted interventions for students with lower attendance. "We've been laser focused on developing a safe, welcoming, and supportive school community," the Presenter said, describing the approach as part of an integrated plan that also includes literacy, assessment, and student supports. Staff said more detailed data and an embargoed portion of the state report card would be released in October when state data are final.
The board requested follow-up reporting and monthly or bimonthly updates tied to progress markers and performance targets.
