Greetings Jackson-Reed Community,

We hope everyone had an enjoyable Spring Break and maximized time with family and friends. As we enter this final phase of the school year, I’d like to focus on two main topics in this week’s message: attendance and enrollment.

Our current In Seat Attendance (ISA) rate is 89.9%, one percent higher than our ISA this time last school year. Showing up to school every day may seem like a small task, but it has a major effect on student learning. When our Tigers attend school regularly, they:

• Build stronger relationships with teachers and classmates,
• Stay on top of assignments, reducing stress and anxiety,
• Develop a sense of responsibility, and
• Are more likely to meet their academic goals

We understand that some absences can’t be avoided, and we encourage everyone to prioritize attendance as we close out the year. Please contact a member of our attendance team if you have questions or need support.

Regarding enrollment, it’s enrollment season, and many of our families have already secured their seats for the next school year! We currently have 184 students enrolled for the next school year, which is 10.6% percent of our 1,732 projected enrollment. I want to thank you if you’ve already completed enrollment. If you haven’t, I’d like to invite you to our upcoming Enrollment Saturday event on April 26th at 9 am. Attendees will have an opportunity to receive one-on-one enrollment assistance, and refreshments and learn more about our plans for the next school year.

Let’s make it a positive and productive week!

Tigers R.O.A.R.,
