Page 8 December 7, 1982 Citizenship awards presented for November Selected as staff person for the month of November at Warm Springs elementary is librarian Darlene Linch. She has worked for the 509-J school district at Warm Springs elementary for 17 years. Attendance at Warm Springs elementary has, in the past, been cause for concern. Too often children missed school to the detriment of their education. This school year, however, ac cording to Warm Springs elemen tary principal John Trujillo at tendance is up 23% over last year. It is making a noticable dif ference in their rate of learning. With reg u lar attendance, “children can maintain con sistency of learning,” Trujillo ex plained. It allows the teacher to work collectively with a class rather than having some students lagging behind sometimes keep ing the class from moving for ward. The students in general are showing better performance in the classroom. Both children and parents are expressing a concern along with teachers that attendance be regular. With the aid of awards for attendance students are d e v ^ ^ n g , n e f sonai g y als towards regular and perfect at tendance. Realizing the necessity of good attendance Tribal Council will sponsor a luncheon at Kah-Nee- Ta at the end of the school year for students having perfect atten dance. In order that each student have the opportunity to be recognized, monthly awards are presented for those without tardiness or ab sen ces for the month. September showed 146 students to have perfect attendance with O ctober having 114 and November, 130. since the com m encem ent of school, 104 students have missed no days and have had no tardiness. The California Achievement Test (CAT) administered in Oc tober 1982 will be compared with CAT tests to be given at the con clusion of the school year to show actual results of the push towards good school attendance.
