Chronic absenteeism is more than a data point—it’s a signal of deeper challenges impacting student success. As districts nationwide work to re-engage students and families, leaders are rethinking their approach, moving beyond compliance-driven tracking to holistic, research-informed strategies that address the root causes of absenteeism. And now, emerging technologies, including AI-powered insights, are offering new ways to predict and prevent attendance challenges and personalize support for students at risk of chronic absenteeism.

Join Panorama Education for a thought-provoking conversation with leading researchers and experts who are shaping the future of how we address attendance.

This discussion will explore:

  • The latest research on how messaging and family engagement influence student attendance
  • How districts can double down on the research-based strategies that work, while reducing the amount of work for educators implementing them
  • What schools can do now to future-proof their attendance strategies and prevent long-term disengagement

This session goes beyond surface-level solutions, offering actionable insights and forward-looking strategies to help educators make lasting improvements in student attendance.

Register now to be part of this critical conversation!
