Attendance isn’t just a number. It’s a signal. District leaders like you know that the key to addressing attendance starts with the people at the heart of it: students and their families.

This Attendance Awareness Month, Panorama is bringing together researchers and district leaders for a roundtable conversation on how listening to student and family voices can help schools better understand—and solve—the root causes of absenteeism.

Together, we’ll explore findings from Panorama’s State of Chronic Absenteeism Report and spotlight real examples of how districts are using student and family feedback to better engage students, strengthen family-school partnerships, and move the needle on attendance.

• Insights from national data on chronic absenteeism trends
  
• Research-backed practices to engage students and families in attendance improvement
  
• Lessons from districts using student and family feedback to design effective supports
