Attendance is Key!!
Attendance is Key!!
Students who are accepted and enrolled in any of our programs must adhere to attendance guidelines. The Grass Valley School District receives funding from the State to provide Before and After School Programs that are based on attendance. Students who are accepted, registered, and enrolled are expected to participate and attend ALL days that the program is in operation. Additionally, for GVSD to receive funding, evidence of students attending the entire program each day must be submitted to the State.
Attendance rates less than 80%, and/or students who are not participating regularly will be at risk of disenrollment from the program. If we do not maintain an overall 85% attendance rate with the State, our program funding will be decreased, and perhaps eliminated.
Inconsistent/poor attendance results in the following:
- Pre-ordered snacks and meals are wasted
- Poor attendance is cause for overstaffing and over hiring which is costly
- Expanded Learning opportunities are paid for based on enrollments and attendance. Students who do not show, or miss regularly still must be paid for while others who could attend are put on a waiting list
- Program Closures
Remember, Attendance is Key! If you are going to be absent, call your supervisor and get the absence excused.
