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.
