CJR #9 created an "Attendance Task Force" in order to improve attendance and decrease "chronic absenteeism."  We set a goal for 100% attendance on the 100th day of school on February 15th.  All students who #showedup were able to wear their favorite superhero shirt and jeans, received a free homework pass, and a future dress down day.  We smashed it and achieved 97%! Pretty amazing with a student population of 820, POW!  #attendancematters #ppsshowup 2/15/18 "Our Numbers" *97% Student Attendance CJR #9 created an "Attendance Task Force" in order to improve attendance and decrease "chronic absenteeism."  We set a goal for 100% attendance on the 100th day of school on February 15th.  All students who #showedup were able to wear their favorite superhero shirt and jeans, received a free homework pass, and a future dress down day.  We smashed it and achieved 97%!

CJR #9 participated in The Hour of Code! Students in Mrs. Wagoner’s technology classes (grades 3-8) participated in it and loved it! This was an introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show the children that anyone can learn the basics.  This was done to broaden participation in the field of computer science andenhance their love for technology!
