CBEDS = The California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS) is an annual data collection administered in October.

OCTOBER 1st is CBEDS Day

The CBEDS count day is our BIG, OFFICIAL student count day! This is the day we count students and this count becomes our base number for ALL of the funding formulas (average daily attendance, Title I, Supplemental, etc). So it is CRITICAL that we have as close to perfect attendance as possible. Our district's student attendance rates continue to be a huge focus, so getting as accurate a count as possible for Weller tomorrow is of the utmost importance. 

Attendance Counts! Here are some facts below: 

We’d like to thank our families for making attendance at school a priority.  Staff, students and PTA have worked extremely hard to raise funds for our school.  Students who attend every day bring in 100% of expected funding for the year.  

• Did you know that missing school for 1 day is a loss of $85 per day?  Think about how hard it is for our school to raise that amount and all you have to do is be present!

• Examples of ways this is lost is by extending a weekend trip by taking Friday or Monday off or not completing an Independent Study Contract. 

• Did you know that Weller still gets full funding for partial attendance? Come for part of the day whenever possible!

• Our students miss learning opportunities when they are out and catching up is hard to do.  

• Did you know that the public looks at our school attendance rates as a measure of our school quality? High attendance rates keep public school perception high!

• We are glad you are enrolled at Weller.  Be here! It’s good for learning and our school!

To celebrate CBEDS day tomorrow, we will be putting the following incentives in place for students. Show up and be counted! 😁

CBEDS Incentives: 

1. Mustang Money: Students present tomorrow will get 20 Mustang Money each.

2. Golden Ticket: One student from each class will be selected to have a special bonus Mustang Market Shopping Day.

3. 100% Classroom Attendance: Cash Flurry Prize- Lucky classrooms with 100% attendance will win the Mustang Money Flurry on Thursday!

4. 100% Classroom Attendance: Classes will be entered to win a Donut Party. Two classes will win.

5. Yard Duty Pass: Any classroom with an attendance percentage of 97% or above, the teachers will receive a Yard Duty Pass and the staff in the classroom will receive a 15 min Break Pass.

Thank you Weller families for supporting attendance tomorrow and beyond!
