Attendance Notification Update for Chronically Absent Students
Poudre School District and Lesher Middle School will now be notifying families of chronic absenteeism by email when absences have met a certain threshold. These letters are sent monthly; please see the thresholds below that identify the actions taken and at each level.
It is always our goal partner with families, address barriers in attendance, and make a plan for improvement. Students are successful when they attend school regularly.
