WEBINAR: Student Connectedness Fosters Attendance and Engagement

Research shows that building a sense of connection to school — for all students and families — is an effective strategy for preventing and reducing chronic absence and conveying the value of showing up to school every day. And school connectedness is something all schools and districts can do. Join Attendance Works for this webinar to explore how districts, schools and community partners can work together to ensure students are connected to a caring adult and their peers, create a sense of belonging and engage students in pro-social activities. They will also highlight the crucial importance of taking steps putting this in place at the beginning of the school year. This session will provide attendees with evidence-based interventions, along with tools and resources that can improve attendance and student connectedness.
