September is Attendance Awareness Month and as a proud corporate sponsor of Attendance Works, School Technology supports them in forwarding their mission to reduce chronic absenteeism.
Attendance Works anaylsis has found chronic absence has increased dramatically since pre-Covid times and that missing just 10 percent of school days can significantly harm a student’s academic achievements.
Based on its research, Attendance Works has put together key strategies school districts can use to reduce chronic absenteeism, starting with collecting data to identify where intervention and prevention are needed.
Attendance Works’ resources for developing plans and strategies, as well as brochures, handouts, and posters to raise awareness, are available on the Attendance Works website. If you haven’t already, make sure to check out all these amazing resources here: https://www.attendanceworks.org/resources/
