Join us for today's Morning Boost, where we delve into effective strategies for combating student absenteeism. This episode focuses on a critical self-assessment of existing school attendance policies and procedures. We'll explore how to analyze attendance data by grade level, demographic groups, and specific student populations to uncover patterns and trends. We discuss the importance of clear and accessible attendance policies, early outreach to families, and consistent application to ensure equity and effectiveness. Learn about gathering stakeholder feedback from students, parents, and staff to gain insight into challenges and potential solutions for improving attendance. Examine your school culture and climate: do students feel safe and connected? We also cover available resources, such as counselors, social workers, and community partnerships, that can address non-academic barriers. With a focus on an internal audit, you'll identify weak spots and areas that need more support to create a responsive and effective attendance strategy.
