New Attendance Regulations in Effect May 1


New steps to return chronically absent students to the classroom go into effect May 1, 2010.  The Newberg School Board approved changes to regulations to enforce compulsory school attendance laws last month.

The changes include a series of clear steps and interventions addressing truancy.  If the series of interventions do not work, the school district can ask Newberg-Dundee Police to issue a Class C Citation to parents or guardians for failing to send their students to school.  The citation currently carries a $242 fine.

A student is considered chronically absent if they have more than one full day unexcused absence per week, or eight unexcused half-day absences in any four week period school is in session.  Schools compile a weekly "chronic absentee list" of students who are considered chronically absent.

The new Compulsory Attendance Regulations are online at http://policy.osba.org/newberg/index.asp

 

 

Yearbooks


Yearbooks will be handed out before students leave school this year!  If you want a yearbook, you need to pay the bookkeeper $50 and get your name on the list.  Books are limited and it will be first come first served.  For more information, contact Kelly Schaeffer at schaefferk@newberg.k12.or.us

Green School Family News February 15


Hi all,
In addition to the weekly listserve that Cheryl sends out weekly, I will be sharing school highlights in e-mail blasts and twitter updates. My goal is to share the good work going on in our school with families more directly. Here are some upcoming events and opportunities to get involved in Green School:

Community Council
If you are interested in joining our Community Council as a parent representative, please contact the GS office for an application, or contact me directly for more information: pugsleyk@ newberg.k12.or.us or 503-554-4444.

9th grade family meetings
Patrick Baker, our counselor, has been meeting with 9th grade families to develop 4 year academic plans in preparation for college. If you haven't had a chance to set up a meeting yet, please contact the GS office for an appointment. The meetings take about 90 minutes per family.
