CBEDS = The California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS) is an annual data collection administered in October.
OCTOBER 7th 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 to ensure that we have the funds needed to support our students. Our district's student attendance rates continue to be a huge focus, so getting as accurate a count as possible for Weller 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.
- Our students miss learning opportunities when they are out and catching up is hard to do.
- 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!
- 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, we will be putting the following incentives and activities in place for students. Show up and be counted! 😁
