Bringing Attendance Home Video

Ask parents about the importance of school attendance in the early grades, and they can tell you why showing up every day matters. They can also share their very real challenges in getting children to school. Bringing Attendance Home, a video from Attendance Works, features parents talking to other parents about reducing absenteeism. Filmed in schools across the country, the video offers tips for parents and schools to improve student attendance. We also offer a version dubbed in Spanish. The video is perfect for a back-to-school night or parent summit. Download the video, and a guide and PowerPoint for leading discussions below.
