Our next Attendance Department spotlight is for Mr. Clarence Brown, our Home School Assistant at Northwest Middle School.

As a dedicated homeschool assistant, Mr. Brown plays a key role in supporting personalized, structured, and engaging learning experiences tailored to the student's unique attendance needs and learning pace. Mr. Brown regularly delivers one-on-one guidance with students to reinforce attendance and provides support with enrichment activities to foster deeper understanding of how their attendance rate impacts their social/emotional and academic growth. Mr. Brown has also done an excellent job maintaining detailed records of attendance progress and provided regular feedback and collaboration with parents to adjust strategies as needed. Mr. Brown takes great pride in developing relationships with parent/guardians and offering critical thinking skills and daily routine strategies for parents to use in enhancing their child’s attendance and improve independence and responsibility.

Mr. Brown shares the following about his motivation: “My work will continue to be supportive, flexible, and helping students gain confidence through coming to school, which helps them to exceed their own academic expectations and meet my personal goal to have Northwest’s Attendance rate improve by 3 to 5%, which I’m happy to share was met this year.”
