The flu virus had a huge impact on our student attendance during the 6th school month. It also impacted our teachers and service personnel. Our younger student population was widely affected, but Clay County High School had a 92.98% for the school month, followed by Clay County Middle School with a 92.88%.
Our teachers offer attendance incentives to students who attend regularly, but children who are suffering from the flu would only infect entire classrooms. By teaching our students the importance of good attendance, we are helping them develop a positive habit that will aid them throughout their lives.
Shawn Krajeski’s Clay County High School students continued to lead the county with a 97.50%, followed by Catherine Vaillancourt’s students at Clay Middle School with a 94.74%. Dylan Vaughan’s third grade students at Big Otter Elementary held third place with a 94.33% and JoAnn Metheney’s Pre-K students at Clay Elementary were fourth with a 94.17%.
Attendance matters!
