Dear Parents/Caregivers,
Throughout the month of September, NREVSD and other schools across the country are taking part in ‘Attendance Awareness Month’ as we look to curb excessive absenteeism throughout the district.
During the 2023-2024 school year, NREVSD had a 19 percent chronic absenteeism rate, a mark nearly double the rate of a decade prior. In an effort to help identify students needing assistance with attendance-related issues, the district will begin to implement two new programs/features beginning this week.
For starters, principals and administrators at all four of our buildings will now begin to utilize the AttendanceK12 app. This app helps streamline the process of tracking chronic absenteeism, allowing more efficient processes as we work with our students and their caregivers to ensure each child throughout the district receives the best education possible.
Additionally, in order to maximize efficiency in our attendance reporting system, parents/guardians will now be able to report absences online, without calling their child’s building.
Each building has an individualized Google Form. Parents MUST supply an email address that is included in their student’s file when reporting the absence. While the absence itself may be marked as excused after reporting through this system, please note that parents/guardians will still receive the automated attendance call from the district as a precaution.
Please see below for links to each of the building’s absence reporting forms. Each form is also linked on the respective building’s home page.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your building’s principal. Thank you!
