Ansonia Public Schools participates in a state initiative to improve attendance, led by the State of Connecticut Office of Policy and Management and directed locally by a Building Leadership Attendance Team. A major focus of the Team continues to be improving the transition for students in Grade 8 and 9. One improvement involves changing the Attendance Policy/Procedures for eighth grade students for the second half of the school year, starting Jan. 22, 2008. A flyer lists details of the changes, while a letter to parents and guardians, available in English and Spanish, provides an overview.
