How do we know we are on the right track?: Monitoring student success

7. Systems in Place
At Bellview, every student is assessed in the areas of reading, writing, math and behavior three times per year
We use this data to plan for teaching and support
Students who receive extra support will be assessed more frequently to be sure our strategies are working

8. More Systems
Bellview uses a Positive Behavior and Intervention Support (PBIS) program to support successful behaviors at school
We use a referral system that allows us to track both student and adult behavior and teach students how to do the right thing
Positive reinforcement for positive behavior is used as often: Bobcat Tickets, Life Skills awards, attendance awards, lunch drawings

11. The Importance of Attendance
Regular attendance is crucial to a child’s success in school. “Adequate” attendance is considered to be 92% or more, meaning a student should not miss more than 9 days in a year.
Chronically Absent students (missing 10% or more of school) in Kinder and 1st grade have a 17% chance of meeting reading expectations by 3rd grade
By 9th grade regular attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores
Habits formed in elementary school carry over into higher levels of education and the work force
