Level up your district’s attendance strategy. This fast-paced opening session moves beyond basic compliance to help teams build a roadmap for improved student presence. We’ll cover the "must-haves"—including State Model Guides, Board-approved policies, and Dashboard data—before diving into the daily logistics that matter most.

Come prepared to tackle:

• Policy in Practice: Bring a copy of your Board-Approved Attendance Policy for a collaborative review and alignment check.

• Systems: Organizing effective Attendance Teams and streamlined documentation.

• Solutions: Managing missed work and brainstorming meaningful consequences.

• The Shift: Bridging the gap between tracking attendance and fostering true student engagement.

Leave with a clear action plan to drive attendance and keep students connected to the classroom.

Note: We will conclude this session with a collaborative discussion to help shape the topics and priorities for our future forum dates.
