District rolls out PowerSchool attendance dashboard and pilots health supports to boost attendance
Summary
Staff described a new PowerSchool attendance dashboard with tiered visuals and printable family reports, and outlined partner-based health and counseling supports (ADAPT, Evergreen) and a planned high-school vape-cessation pilot to improve attendance.
District staff explained ongoing attendance improvement work and introduced a new PowerSchool attendance dashboard that provides tiered visuals, period-level attendance for secondary students, and printable reports for families. The staff member said the dashboard allows administrators and teachers to pull data by student, class period or grade, and to track excused vs. unexcused absences and consecutive absences.
Staff also described supports tied to attendance: partnerships with ADAPT for modular drug-and-alcohol counseling, mental-health provider Evergreen expanding nursing coverage, and a planned vape-cessation pilot at the high school. The district noted it will use empathy interviews with students and parents to identify barriers and will monitor how families respond to the new family-facing attendance reports.
