Teaching Attendance as an Initiative!

Every day a student is absent is a lost opportunity for learning. Too many absences can affect achievement not just for the absent student but can also disrupt learning for the entire class. While teachers play a key role, everyone in the school building— from the principal to the front office to the cafeteria - can teach attendance.

Every campus should focus on:

• Creating a welcoming environment that engages students and families
• Engages families at parent-teacher or student-led conferences
• Using data to ensure early intervention and secure needed supports
• Advocate for a school-wide approach
