VISION

VISION

All services through the CWA Office seek to maximize students' learning opportunities to progress toward graduation and prepare for college and career success.

School attendance is extremely important when it comes to student success. This includes academic achievement, students social emotional well-being, and their ability to obtain life skills that will benefit them in the future. California compulsory education law requires everyone between the ages of six and eighteen years of age to attend school full-time (E.C. 48200).

Partnering with the Department of Social Services and community based agencies
Providing school site support with Student Attendance Review Team conferences (SART)
