  • THESE ARE INTERESTING TIMES, AND DISTRICTS MUST CREATE UNIQUE AND CREATIVE WAYS TO KEEP STUDENTS IN SCHOOL. WHILE THE HART DISTRICT ENJOYS AN OVER 90% GRADUATION RATE, ENSURING THEY HAVE ONGOING DAILY STUDENT ATTENDANCE IS MORE DIFFICULT. THEREFORE, WISH HAS JOINED WITH THE DISTRICT AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN A PROGRAM DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE BY REWARDING STUDENTS WHO HAVE PERFECT QUARTERLY DAILY ATTENDANCE. ADA (AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE) NUMBERS DO NOT ONLY PROVIDE SCHOOLS WITH MUCH NEEDED EDUCATION FUNDING, BUT THEY LEAD TO BETTER SOCIO-EMOTIONAL AND ACADEMIC LEARNING ACROSS THE BOARD FOR ALL STUDENTS.
