Principal's Report (Mandy Breuer, Principal)

FUSD Oversight Visit Overview - ALL positive reviews from the FUSD team calling GCA The Real Deal. 

Attendance & Enrollment - At 100% enrolled in 4 classes. 95% in Kinder and 97% in 1st. At GCA, our attendance issues hit three main areas: No to limit access to working transportation to school, mental health, health care (getting sick and/or unable to go to the doctor). Attendance secretary sends out attendance letters as absences increase which leads to a SART meeting. School Site Attendance Team meets every other week, utilizing data to address truancy. SART meetings from mid-December to end of January for 8 chronically absent students: attendance improved drastically for 50% of them immediately after the connection. If meeting is unsuccessful, we then move onto home visits. If truancy continues after visit, we move forward with the disenrollment process. From November to January, ADA increased by 4% after SART meetings were held.
