Principals

Principals should have received a box(s) and a white envelope from me.  The boxes have sets of Expo markers and the envelope has certificates.  Both of these are for your first- and second-year teachers. Please distribute these items to them.  If there are any errors, please report them to me, so I can rectify the errors.  Thank you for your help!!  …Sherrie Piedimonte

A2A Truancy Updates

The Attend to Achieve (A2A) Parents Workshops and Truancy Diversion Classes are designed to give parents and students the basic facts around what the truancy law is, what the school is required to do and how they can avoid future referrals. Although truancy court is not in session, we wanted to give our families as much support as possible, especially considering the extra difficulties this past year has brought. A large portion of these classes/workshops is designated to share about the numerous resources available to families, both from our district and in the community. We had about 170 students/parents complete either a diversion packet, individual meeting or virtual diversion class since the beginning of March! 98% of participants indicated they learned something new and found the information helpful.

This week we offered the last Truancy Diversion Classes and Parent Workshops for the current school year. However, we will continue to accept truancy referrals until the last day of school. Please make sure all students who qualified as Truant, up to May 27, are referred to the A2A team. This will not only assure we have accurate data, but will help us find those students during the summer and help them set attendance goals before the new school year begins. If you have any questions or need more information, please reach out to Naomi Tolentino, naomi.tolentino@kckps.org / 913-568-0147.
