Students missing more than 10 days will fail. We addressed the multiple ways of making up attendance. Topics also covered were: Discussions of Grades, Powerschool Log-in, Detentions, Wake-up-Wednesday/Tutoring, Cafeteria protocol/pride. Overall the meetings went very well.

We also covered procedures for Homebound students and the new state OK works strategic plan for guiding students to be College and Career Ready.

EPS would have the opportunity to utilize resources already in place, to develop its own or to do a combination of both. As a future administrator I will need to keep up todate on all the laws and bring them back to my school for implementation. I will need to be aware of district policies regarding homebound students and the procedure that need to be in place for my students to be successful and well taken care of. Both, will require working with outside agencies. As an Administrator I will need to keep those lines of communication open for the success of my students and

    As education is something we take for granted today, the idea that education up until recently, has been considered a luxury – available only to those able and willing to afford it, is surreal to us. As the demand for necessary universal education increased, opinions on schooling have shifted.

He describes education as “the great equalizer of the conditions of men, – the balance-wheel of the social machinery”. Mann idealizes education as a force that will erase all class divides between people and provide them a sense of individualism.…
