My Project

COVID-19 has made it difficult for our school to keep the excitement and motivation going that has historically been centered around our school attendance. With school closures, mandated quarantines, and distance learning, we are now in the process of retraining our students and families and retooling our attendance interventions to get us back on track. School wide incentives and attendance celebrations help us generate the energy and momentum we need to get us back on track to 95% average daily attendance. Every student, every day, school attendance matters! Mahalo nui loa!
