The School District must react positively to the trust and support exhibited by the community. This is accomplished by being responsive to the needs, values, and expectations of the community, and by ensuring the educational programs offered to students are of the highest quality so students from Brodhead will compete successfully in an ever increasing and demanding environment. In recent years, Wisconsin has developed Academic Standards and a testing program to assess student progress. This year s ninth grade, who will be the graduating class of 2004, will be the first group of students who must pass the Wisconsin Graduation Test as part of their total graduation requirements for Brodhead High School. Parents are the most important ingredient in the formula for a child s educational success.
Parents are, after all, the child s first and most important teachers.
Parents and the home, establish the values a child has toward education, and the significance education will have throughout that child s life. It is critical for the educational success of children that the community, school and especially parents, work together cooperatively with the school district, believing together we do make a difference in the lives of children. The Attendance Rate comes from dividing the total actual days of attendance by the total possible days of attendance. It is expressed as a percentage.
