It Takes Two: May 23 Webinar !


When a student misses 10 percent of school days, how do schools and communities make sure that there is personalized early outreach to students and families? 

It Takes Two: Adding Early Intervention Strategies to Address Chronic Absence is the second in the AAC2017 webinar series. During this free webinar, on Tuesday, May 23 (11:00 am – 12:30 pm PT / 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm ET), you’ll hear what teachers, mentors, school nurses and other caring adults can do to identify and help students improve attendance as soon as they show signs of falling off track.

Prepare questions for our webinar Speakers:

  • Lysette Lemay, Parent Teacher Home Visits (PTHV)
  • Donna Mazyck, National Association of School Nurses (NASN)
  • Terri Helm-Remund, Seattle Public Schools
  • Linda Amica-Roberts, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, and
  • Cecelia Leong, Attendance Works

Each community and program featured on the webinar will have strong Tier 1 strategies in place, such as recognizing and rewarding attendance improvements, creating a welcoming school environment and monitoring chronic absence data to identify common barriers.

This September, as we celebrate Attendance Awareness Month, we have the opportunity help all students build the essential skill of showing up on time every day. Don’t miss out! Register now
