Elevating Attendance: the Foundation of Recovery, Communications, and Engagement
Districts across the country are facing unprecedented levels of unfinished learning in their students, in part because more students were chronically absent last year than ever before. Students across the country will return to school in the fall needing extra support to recover learning missed during the pandemic. While strategies to close learning gaps might include tutoring and professional development, student attendance is the foundation of all recovery plans that districts must address. We’ll share our experiences and Coffee County School System’s lessons learned from the pandemic, as well as evidence-based practices to proactively identify and engage most at-risk students. Coffee County’s graduation rates and CCRPI scores are the highest, driven by access to attendance data and using research-based practices to understand student attendance and engage with families. We know that regular communications with families strengthen the home-school trust.
