Chronic Absenteeism-<\/strong> <\/span>Those of you who have had your October meetings with me know that I am talking a lot about chronic absenteeism. We are fortunate in our region to have Kimberly Strong from the ESD as a resource for addressing this issue. Please read\u00a0 below from Kimberly.<\/div>\n

Greetings! I’m Kimberly Strong, your regional capacity builder (aka – that chronic absenteeism lady). My job is to support you and your school’s efforts to increase regular attenders.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Many of us have heard the statistics associated with regular attendance over the last couple of years. For the most part, these statistics confirm what we already know as educators. When our students attend regularly, they are more likely to learn to read on grade level; they are more likely to create and build social skills and bonds with others; they are more likely to have a successful transition to middle school and high school; and they are more likely to graduate on time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am excited to hear about your needs for your school and how I can partner with you to meet those needs. Some of the services I provide are:<\/div>\n
