Attention on Attendance (AOA) Umbrella System Theme for School Year 2010-11

Perhaps the most simple, yet important fact regarding success in school, be it our school system or any other, is that in order to be really successful, students must be at school. It would be almost impossible for anyone to master an academic subject without being present to receive sufficient instruction. This is not a question of intelligence. It is a matter of consistency. That is why, for this school year, Mitchell County Schools have adopted as our year long motto “Attention On Attendance”, or “AOA”. Inconsistent attendance leads to a variety of difficulties insofar as success in school is concerned. We want to challenge you to assist us in making this the year that Mitchell County Schools focuses its greatest effort ever on attendance. Obviously, we need every parent, every student, every staff member, every teacher, every principal, every central office administrator, our entire system, to work together in order to achieve our goal of “attention on attendance”. Our challenge to parents is to make a greater effort to schedule appointments for your young people after school has concluded if at all possible, and to stay in contact with us when absence is unavoidable. For students, we challenge them to dedicate themselves to working toward perfect attendance, and to do so by making a daily effort to be at school, on time, and prepared to learn. For our faculty and staff, we challenge them to be innovative and original in their approach to education so as to actively engage and motivate our student body to not only be at school but to want to be at school and to enjoy being at school. We now have in place greater resources than ever before to assist families that may have situations that arise which are beyond their control. We want to help. Let us do so. We are ready to tackle these issues with you. We’re not the enemy, we’re a team! Together, with our system-wide “Attention On Attendance”, we believe we will see amazing improvements and results.
