Yesterday, I was presented with data that I want to share with all of you. It is data that should make us all proud because it definitely takes the whole Deep Creek School family to make these attendance numbers occur. For the second consecutive year, DCES is leading the county when it comes to average daily attendance of our students. Currently, 96.16% of our students are attending school each day. This data is displayed on Chart 1 below.
Chart 2, which is also below, shows the percentage of our students that have missed 10% of daily instruction. The chart again shows that DCES leads the county with 3.8% of our students missing 10% of instruction, which is 24 out of 637 students.
The beginning of the year faculty meeting started with an agreement that WE ARE CUBS, and that agreement came with the pledge that as a school family, relationships would be built with students. These relationships would help to build DCES as a place where students wanted to come each day. It starts in the morning at bus stops (we have incredible bus drivers), it continues on campus where our entire staff (no group is excluded here, custodians, cafeteria staff, paras, front office, core) does an excellent job of creating an atmosphere where students want to arrive each morning.
Congratulations to all of us for achieving these current numbers. Looking forward to finishing the year and continuing to emphasize the importance of our students attending school and leading the way in these categories.
Have a great weekend,
James
