Understand why being present in school matters! Attendance Works has created this short video to explain the problem of chronic absence—its prevalence across the country and its impact on student achievement at every grade level.
To view the video shared with permission from Attendance Works, please use the following Vimeo link: http://vimeo.com/63614396
Chronically absent: Any student in grade K-12 who misses 50 percent or more of the instructional day for any reason for 10 percent (or more) of the enrollment period. All types of absences contribute to chronic absenteeism: excused absences, unexcused absences, suspensions
