(Past Event) Pathways to Re-Engagement: Summer Opportunities

WEEAC webinars

Chronic absence, which is a sign of disengagement from school, rose to 29.7% in 2021–22 for all students. Chronic absence rates climbed significantly for student groups that have experienced disproportionate outcomes.

What are schools and community-based organizations doing to increase family engagement and student connectedness to create pathways to re-engagement?

Join Western Educational Equity Assistance Center (WEEAC) and Attendance Works as we spotlight strategies that leverage the crucial summer months to re-engage students and families and make sure they are welcomed at the beginning of the school year.

Date: Thursday, May 8, 2024
