Course Overview
Level up your district’s attendance strategy in this fast-paced opening session. Moving beyond basic compliance, this forum helps teams build a practical roadmap for improved student presence. Participants will review essential "must-haves"—including State Model Guides, Board-approved policies, and Dashboard data—before diving into the daily logistics that matter most. You will leave with a clear action plan to drive attendance, manage missed work, and bridge the gap between simply tracking attendance and fostering true student engagement.
Note: The session will conclude with a collaborative discussion to help shape the topics and priorities for future forum dates.
