Pacific Ridge doubles down on attendance and SEL after survey and diagnostic review
Summary
Following reading gains, Pacific Ridge leaders outlined attendance interventions (nudge letters, individualized plans, incentives) and SEL supports after Panorama survey results showed strengths in social awareness (88%) but lower self-efficacy measures.
Pacific Ridge staff told the board they are intensifying work on attendance and social-emotional learning after reviewing Panorama well-being survey data and diagnostic assessments.
Julie highlighted survey responses showing "88% of our respondents or students answered they cared quite a bit or cared a tremendous amount" about others' feelings and 80% said they got along with students different from them. Staff flagged an area for growth — only 52% said they could clearly describe their feelings — and said counselors will use targeted small groups and wayfinder curriculum to improve self-efficacy. The school detailed tiered attendance interventions (weekly tier 2/3 team, nudge letters, individualized attendance plans) and positive incentives including stickers for 90%+ attendance and class-level rewards tied to PBIS.
Presenters said they are using data-driven conversations with families and community partners to remove barriers to attendance and that many elementary absenteeism issues stem from family-level challenges. The board requested continued updates on attendance trajectories and outcomes as interventions are implemented.
