Absence and Tardy Expectations

Per KSD policy, part of our responsibilities at school is to monitor and keep families notified of how many days students miss and/or are late to school, regardless of the reason. Our goal is to have 95% of students here 95% of the time. That means fewer than 5% of students have 10+ absences. There is research around the 10 day target and this is also a district expectation.  Every week, we run attendance and tardy reports and begin to notify families when students reach 5 unexcused absences, 8 absences per semester, 10 absences, per semester, and 12 absences per semester, and excessive tardies.  If you receive a letter stating higher than expected tardies or absences, and need assistance or problem solving, please call our school counselors.
