Attendance Makes Changes This year Ms. Betty Jo Daniels was added to the Attendance Office. Ms. Daniels formerly worked as a volunteer at Washington Irving Jr. High School for approximately two years as an at- tendance assistant. In September a new attendance poli- cy was established. Attendance was taken by teachers on computer cards which were given to the attendance sec- retaries at the end of each period. The secretaries recorded the absentees, called parents, and made appropriate referrals without teacher involvement. This proved to be an extreme amount of work for the attendance officeg there- fore, it was replaced in October by the current attendance policy, whereby an admit is issued to the students but the teacher keeps record and makes refer- rals. The transition between the two systems worked smoothly, according to the secretaries.

f Math Classes Use Skill Tests And Apple II The 1978-79 school year was one distinguished by new equip- ment and the administration of basic skills proficiency tests. Mr. Joe D'Innocenzo incorpo- rated an Apple II computer into his curriculum of the Computer I and Il courses. The availability of classroom terminals with televi- sion monitors improved classroom instruction, according to Mr. D,Innocenzo. The movement toward minimal basic skills launched the Math- ematics Department into a testing program. Students in general math, practical math, and algebra had their attainment of basic math skills logged into the school district computer.
