Each day s absence represents a loss of an average of six hours of instructional time that cannot be made up. Programs in effect to improve our rate of attendance include monthly attendance and tardy letters to parents and calls to verify absences. Our Community Attendance Liaison works diligently to follow up on student attendance. The goal of SARB is to develop a plan to help get students attendance back on the right track. We all want students to be successful.
Students can only be successful if they are in school.

The results of the assessment are listed below. This test was given in the spring of 1997 to Anaheim City students in grades 2-6.
