Board reviews early enrollment and attendance, plans cohort tracking
Summary
Administrators reported approximately 368 students enrolled at the start of the year, about 90% monthly attendance district-wide so far, ParentSquare engagement data, and plans to monitor chronic absenteeism via Synergy and cohort tracking across the year.
Presenter (S7) provided an enrollment and attendance briefing, saying the district was "sitting just about 368 for the start of the year" but cautioned numbers may shift as records arrive and 10-day drop windows close. S7 said some grade-level counts (notably second grade) were "peaking up about 70" and that kindergarten and early grades can skew baseline attendance and literacy measures because students are just starting the year.
S7 also noted ParentSquare usage: roughly 1,100 messages sent in August and that 98% of families are contactable via the platform. The presenter described plans to use Synergy reports to identify chronically absent students (below 80% attendance) and to intervene, saying targeted outreach and home visits are among the strategies administration will pursue. The board and staff discussed cohort tracking to follow the same students across grades rather than comparing different year-to-year groups.
