Completion Student_Support Effective Intervention Strategies Routines will be established so that all students experiencing chronic attendance issues will be referred to their assistant principal for immediate intervention, as well as to the truancy officer when appropriate.

Communication between teachers, the attendance office, and the appropriate assistant principal will be required at the end of each week when a student exceeds four unexcused absences. The campus automated call-out system will alert parents to unexcused absences per class period. Assistant Principals will work closely with campus Truancy Officers to ensure that parent contact is made with regard to students who have excessive unexcused absences (3 absences per six week period). Students who are at high risk of dropping out will be counseled by an academic counselor /graduation coach who will assist the student and parent with an achievable plan for graduation.

Student attendance will improve resulting in increased student achievement as documented by: 1.) weekly attendance reports provided to administrative team; 2.) digital print-out of weekly attendance call-outs regarding unexcused attendance per grade level provided to appropriate AP; 3.) documentation of required attendance meeting with student and parent when a student exceeds 4 or more unexcused absences in a course during a six week period (as necessary throughout each grading period); 4.) teachers, counselors and attendance clerks alerting assistant principals weekly when a student is perceived as at-risk for graduation based on attendance, failure, or other pertinent information, providing administration an opportunity to intervene.

If a student has failed to meet their applicable exit level testing requirement at the end of the school year, they are required to attend remediation sessions (including testing sessions) to participate in commencement activities. 1.) BHS will provide a total of 8 remediation session opportunities during the fall semester: 9/17; 9/20-22; 10/1; 10/8; 10/11-13; 10/15. 2.) Students must attend a minimum of 5 out of the possible 8 sessions. 3.) Attendance at each session will be recorded and provided to campus administration. 5.) Each student that will be impacted by this policy must sign a contract during the first week of school stating that they are aware of the available sessions and agree to attend in order to receive assistant via tutorials to pass the TAKS test and to participate in graduation. The contract is turned in to their counselor by the end of the second week of school, where they are
