ATTENDANCE MATTERS

It’s time for an attendance data check in! Improving student attendance is a 2025 priority and part of the MoGC School Annual Improvement Plan. The Diocesan student attendance goal is 90% -  90% of students attending school for 90% of the time. When students attend for 90% of the time, they are attending for the equivalent of four days each week!

Our SAIP goal is: By the end of 2025 the number of students with a minimum attendance rate of 90% will improve from 71% to 80%.

We are currently sitting at 81.1%. While this is a drop from 83.4% at the end of Term 1, there is a lot to celebrate; we are on track to meeting our school-wide goal and our 2025 attendance is consistently higher than it was in 2024.

Families with students currently below 90% for Term 2 will receive communication next week. The purpose of this email is to raise family awareness of student attendance level.

Our Term 3 target is to decrease the Unexplained Absence data. This requires families to notify the school via MyCE app, email or phone call of their child’s absence. Notifying the school will also remove the automated text message received when a student absence is unexplained.
