September is Attendance Awareness Month, a nationwide campaign to promote the importance of school attendance.
The Attendance Works website provides a variety of resources including toolkits, promotional materials, and strategies to help schools and communities address chronic absenteeism. These materials encourage early outreach and foster a culture of attendance to ensure student success. More details can be found here.
School districts in the region can also access additional support and guidance through NEWESD 101's Attendance & Reengagement program.
