<span style="color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Student A shows typical to high growth in all subject areas. The test scores for CSAP also reflect the student's disability in math. However, the student is still showing growth in math.

<span style="color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Student A has poor attendance, including 23 unexcused absences in 7th period. One of the days that I tried to observe this student I saw him in the hall but did not see him in class.

<span style="color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Student A's grades have continued to be poor. He has improved his grades in ELA and Team Sports (Period 3 and 4). These two class do have less unexcused absences. I wonder if his grades in these classes are because his attendance is a little better. This student has been given the opportunity to make up course credit during the online education class. His attendance has not been great during this class and he has not made up very many credits.

<span style="color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Things to Note about Student A:** <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Student A was partially proficient in both reading and writing last school year and unsatisfactory in math. He also showed typical to high growth in all areas. Student A does have a specific learning disability in math. His test scores in math support this. After talking to student A's teachers and case manager it seemed that the student should be passing all of his classes but his poor attendance results in him missing lots of work. All of his teachers stated that if Student A came to class more regularly he would be passing all of his classes. Student A did recognize that he missed many classes and stated that he often just didn't go. He said that he found math a little hard but that most of his classes were fine. After looking at Student A's data, speaking with him and his teachers it became clear that his poor attendance was the reason he was failing many classes and, therefore, at risk of not graduated high school on time.
