REDSKIN ROLL CALL - AUGUST 2026

Welcome back! The halls are buzzing, classrooms are ready, and it's time to kick off another amazing school year. Whether you're a freshman finding your way, a sophomore or junior building toward your goals, or a senior making every moment count, we're excited to have you back!

This year is full of opportunities to learn, lead, compete, create, and make memories that will last a lifetime. The first step to making the most of it all is simple—be here! Every day you show up is another chance to connect with friends, cheer on your classmates, discover new passions, and take one step closer to your future.

Our school is strongest when everyone is here, supporting one another and showing their school pride. Every classroom, every club, every performance, every game, and every event is better because YOU are part of it. Together, we can build a positive school culture where everyone belongs, and every student has the opportunity to succeed.

So, wear your school colors with pride, get involved, encourage your classmates, and make attendance your first victory of the day. Let's fill our classrooms, celebrate our successes, and make this our best year yet!

Hi, everyone! I'm Alex Montgomery, and I'm excited to be your new Attendance Secretary! I can't wait to meet our students, families, and staff and become part of the incredible Redskin community.

A little about me—I’m married, the proud parent of four amazing kids, and a huge animal lover. If it has fur, feathers, or four legs, there's a good chance I'll want to make friends with it!

I also have a weakness for corny jokes, so don't be surprised if you hear one when you stop by the Attendance Office. Here's one to kick off the school year:

Why did the student bring a ladder to school?
Because they wanted to go to high school! 😄

Whether you need help with attendance, have a question, or just want to say hello, I'm always happy to help. My goal is to make the Attendance Office a welcoming place where everyone feels supported.

I'm proud to be part of the Redskin family, and I can't wait to cheer you on as you learn, grow, and make this school year one to remember.

Remember: Everyday counts, every class matters, and every Redskin makes a difference. I look forward to seeing you around campus!

WOW! You did it! Last year, our school set a goal to reduce chronic absenteeism to 7.99%, and you all absolutely knocked it out of the park! Instead of stopping at our goal, we finished the 2025–2026 school year with an incredible absenteeism rate of just 5%!

That's something every student, family, teacher, and staff member should be proud of. Every early morning, every class you attended, every choice to show up—it all added up to one amazing accomplishment. Together, we proved that when everyone does their part, big things happen!

Ready to Level Up?

Since we know what we're capable of, it's time for our next challenge!

We're changing the way we look at attendance! This year, instead of focusing on chronic absenteeism, we're focusing on how many students are present each day. Our SY27 goal is to increase our Average Daily Attendance from 96.3% to 97.5%. That may sound like a small jump, but every student makes a difference! When you show up, you help yourself, your classmates, and our entire school move closer to our goal. We're not chasing absences—we're chasing attendance!

Students and Parents/Guardians,

Welcome back to SJHS for the 2026-27 school year.

I am excited to see you all again, roaming the halls, and being on time for all of your classes! It's a proven fact solid attendance is the greatest indicator of educational success. If you have been an excellent attender of school, keep it up! If you have struggled in attending well in the past, now is the time to change for the better!

Let's make 2026-27 the best year yet.

If you have questions or concerns on anything attendance related, please come see me.

Mr. Bradshaw

A new school year brings new opportunities—and a few updates, too! This year, we've introduced new attendance codes to help accurately document student attendance and make it easier for students and families to understand their attendance records.

Think of the guide below as your go-to reference whenever you check your attendance. Knowing the code helps you stay on track, avoid confusion, and understand exactly what each attendance mark means.

If you ever have questions about an attendance code or your student's attendance record, don't hesitate to contact Alex Montgomery at 928-337-2221 or alex.montgomery@staff.sjusd.net. We're here to help keep every student present, informed, and ready to learn!
