Celebrating Attendance Awareness Month Across the United States

This map is now closed to new entries.  Our 2015 map will be posted April 15. Last year, 324 events were posted to the map.  Thank you for your participation and for helping make Attendance Awareness Month 2014 a resounding success!

If your school district is calculating chronic absence, check out our new District Data Action map. Our goal is to find out which districts across the country are tracking individual student absences — excused and unexcused — and how they are defining chronic absence.

Here’s a state-by-state breakdown of the participating schools and communities. Only five states had no activities. Next year’s goal:  All 50 states!
