(From EdWeek) Schools across the country are grappling with elevated levels of chronic absenteeism that have yet to return to pre-pandemic levels.Educators shared four tips for addressing this issue:
- Identify at-risk students, intervene, and monitor progress.
- Monitor absenteeism patterns early, especially for students nearing 10% of missed school days in a year.
- Promote attendance through parent outreach, attendance teams, and addressing transportation problems.
- Avoid harsh language in student and parent handbooks to foster a positive approach.
