Attendance Awareness

If you would like EOY attendance data for your building, please contact Lisa @ lmdelapena@dcsdk12.org

We have collaborated with the IT Tableau team to provide all schools with an attendance dashboard that will feature real-time data tracking for attendance. You will be able to monitor attendance percentages in your buildings and delve deeper into all aspects of attendance. The dashboard will be presented during the annual attendance training, and we are working to ensure that all staff members on the attendance team will have access for their respective schools.

The White House has recently held an Every Day Counts Summit, focusing on the issue of chronic absenteeism and how to address it. The summit featured bipartisan state and local education leaders who are implementing evidence-based approaches to tackle absenteeism. This initiative is part of the Administration's efforts to improve student achievement. Be sure to click on the title above to watch!
