We make great efforts to contact students' homes via phone calls, letters and home visits. When necessary, the truant officer along with staff makes home visits. Each student was entered into a monthly drawing. Prizes were donated by community businesses. The District is able to provide quality substitute teachers for illnesses and personal necessity.
All substitutes meet the minimum necessary qualifications.
At times the local pool of available substitutes is small. The District continuously works on methods to increase the number of available substitute teachers who are certified. Substitutes are provided a handbook of procedures as well as written lesson plans in order to assure program continuity. The Special Education teachers and aides provide consultation in the regular classroom. Instructional aides and volunteer parents worked with small student groups under the supervision of teachers.
