C.O.M.E. to Win: Attendance Monitoring and Recognition

3rd 20-Day Period Deadline: As a reminder, the third 20-day school attendance period ends on Nov. 4. All schools must ensure that all necessary supports and celebrations have been documented within the C.O.M.E. to Win Application Platform for all student attendance levels. This is a mandatory requirement.
Benefits of Regular Monitoring: By consistently entering attendance data for Champions, Winners, and Participants every 20 days, we can proactively monitor student attendance trends and identify areas where additional support may be needed.
Attendance progress will be reflected in student reports and report cards, ensuring transparent communication with parents and guardians.
Let's work together to motivate students to strive for the highest standards of attendance.

Schools may submit General Choice Transfer (GCT) rescind requests for students who demonstrate non-compliance with academic performance, attendance, or behavioral expectations.

All levels of appeals regarding GCT rescissions will be handled through a designated process:

First Level: Appeals will be addressed by the school principal.
Second Level: Appeals will be reviewed by the district office.
