Boosting Student Engagement Across Northeast WA
Posted on 05/12/2025
The Boosting Attendance & Reengagement Network (BARN) recently convened at NEWESD 101's Talbott Event Center, bringing together educators from 10 schools across northeast Washington. This regional gathering provided an opportunity for school teams to collaborate, share insights, and learn from one another in their efforts to reduce chronic absenteeism and reconnect students who have become disengaged from school.
NEWESD 101 Coordinators Allyson Fritz, Stephanie Detrick, Jennifer Ireland, and Dianna Harrington were on hand to support teams with facilitation, data tools, and expert guidance. Together, participants explored proven strategies to strengthen student engagement, improve attendance systems, and build a culture of belonging in their schools.
