Reducing Chronic Absenteeism by Strengthening Family-School Partnerships
Date & Time: Thursday, September 5th at 2 pm ET
The number of students who are chronically absent has increased significantly since the pandemic. While there is no silver bullet, recent research indicates that schools with strong engagement practices have lower rates of chronic absenteeism.
In this webinar, a family engagement expert and author will drill down on how to implement robust home-school partnerships that reduce chronic absenteeism, including establishing relational trust, creating a welcoming environment, and implementing two-way communication.
Hear from a San Diego USD principal, who will share their tips, tools, and strategies for strengthening family engagement and increasing daily student attendance.
Attendees will take away:
- What the research tells us about family engagement and student attendance
- What is meant by offering a welcoming environment to students and their families
- Actionable strategies to strengthen family engagement at the school and district level
