In the 2014-2015 school year, TRUSD began working with Attention to Attendance (A2A) to improve attendance at each school site by being proactive with letters and conferences, increasing daily attendance, and reducing chronic absences. Frontier, Hillsdale, Pacific High, Foothill High, and Smythe (7-8) were recognized for demonstrating the most significant attendance improvements in our district. This award also coincides with the launch of our 2015-2016 attendance incentive program.
