Parent and Family Engagement

Please review this page for updates on important information pertaining to parent engagement initiatives at our school.

James Rhoads has an attendance goal of 95%!
Scholars need to attend school 95% of the time!

Below is an attendance scorecard. Families will receive this scorecard monthly so that you can keep track of your scholars attendance. It will keep a running total of the number of absences for the school year. Monthly scorecards will be sent home with students.

 

“Attention families: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that a school with certain exceptions obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, a school may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the school to the contrary in accordance with school district procedures.

Parents who wish to opt their students out of directory information releases must complete an Opt-Out Form for each of their students, and must return each form to the school at which each student is enrolled by December 13, 2024.
