[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason these letters come out is because the state is up our @*@ about chronic absenteeism rates. You earn a certain number of points on the MD Report Card based on the percentage of students who are not chronically absent. MCPS is really trying to get as many schools to have a 4 or 5 star rating and getting absenteeism in check is one key focus area. [/quote] This and it doesn't matter if the absences are excused or not. Missing just two days each month means your kid is on the track to being chronically absent. Our principal reports our school's ARCA rate to the teachers every weekend in his weekly staff memo. Our social worker and the attendance committee spends a lot of time trying to improve attendance.
