Greetings from Fort High. I want to apologize for the prolonged break between columns. Some parents have told me they find my writings of use, so I will try not to have such a long gap again. I would like to continue with the theme I had established in November by discussing some often overlooked topics. This week, I’d like to focus on attendance and the impact it has on achievement. Attendance at Fort High is a good news/bad news situation. The good news is that more than half of the students at Fort High have what I would consider very good attendance.
