Meet our dedicated team of innovators, educators, managers, consultants, designers, and school site specialists. We invite you to learn more about our products and services, our history and mission, and our proudest accomplishment of all: our people. Most of the dreamers, architects and builders of this success story have been with SI&A since inception.

We are a collaborative corps of hard-working, straight talking, and service-driven individuals. We believe in education. We can help you, your students and their families achieve great things.

We were founded in 2003, and have grown from our origins as the back-office facilitator for most of California’s school districts and county offices of education, into the creator of unparalleled products, most notably The Achievement Initiative, powered by Attention2Attendance® (A2A), a software solution that decreases school absenteeism by as much as 25 percent – and works 100 percent of the time.

Before expanding outside of California, we started as a compliance company dealing with the complex and constantly changing climate of state regulations, economic recession, school funding priorities and politically shifting paradigms.

Today our signature product – The Achievement Initiative – has created a new standard. The Achievement Initiative will improve your attendance numbers, bottom line and, most important, your students’ lives.

Cool and Savory Recipes for this Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a day we stop to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the U.S. armed forces.

My parents met, fell in love and got married while serving in the US Navy during the Vietnam War era. As a child of a military family, Memorial Day holds significant meaning to me. This weekend we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our freedoms.

Memorial Day also marks the unofficial start of summer as school winds down. To keep cool while temperatures heat up, nothing gives me summer vibes like the refreshing lime flavor of a classic mojito and a juicy, grilled burger. Enjoy!

The Mojito

is one of the most famous rum-based mixed drinks around the world, and despite its relatively long ingredient list, it’s quite easy to make.

INGREDIENTS

2 oz. white rum
1 oz. lime juice
1 oz. club soda
2 tsp sugar
10 to 12 mint leaves (plus 2 to 4 small sprigs for garnish)
Ice cubes

Combine lime juice, sugar, and mint leaves in a tall 10-ounce glass (like a Collins glass) and muddle. Add half of the club soda, and stir for 10 seconds to partially dissolve sugar. Add ice cubes, rum, and remaining club soda. Stir again, then add the garnish and enjoy.
