ATTENDANCE - Chronic absenteeism is defined as when a student misses 10 percent or more of class days in a school year. ODE research confirms national studies showing connections between attendance and student outcomes, including improved test scores and graduation rates.

PROBLEM - Across the country, more than 8 million students are missing so many days of school that they are academically at risk. Chronic absence — missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absence for any reason—excused, unexcused absences and suspensions, can translate into third-graders unable to master reading, sixth-graders failing subjects and ninth-graders dropping out of high school.

Tribal Attendance Promising Practices (TAPP)

Even though the goal of the Tribal Attendance Promising Practices (TAPP) is to reduce chronic absenteeism of native students in Oregon, our school realizes that the success of all our students depends largely on their ability to arrive at school on time and to attend all of their classes when school is in session.

With that in mind, we encourage parents and guardians to make sure your school-aged children attend school. If you have any questions, please contact Katie Lindstrom (Registrar/Attendance) at 541.444.1100.
