Every Student Present
NYS Council on Children and Families provides resource materials for parents and school staff on school attendance. Information is available on Chronic Absenteeism, including Awareness, Engagement, Recognition, Data and Monitoring, and Interventions and Supports.

Attendance Works
National and state initiative that promotes tracking chronic absence data and partnering with families and community agencies to intervene when poor attendance is a problem for students or schools. 

Chronic Absence Calculator
Attendance Works has partnered with Applied Survey Research to develop free self-calculating spreadsheets for school districts to track attendance. These tools are especially effective for smaller districts with more limited data capacity. The companion tools are the School Attendance Tracking Tools (SATTs) which provide school-level analysis down to the individual student level. 

Supporting Student Attendance and Engagement
U.S Department of Education resources can support schools, districts, and states to promote regular school attendance and enhance family and student engagement as a focal point of support student achievement. This page provides information about Department grant programs and technical assistance resources to support regular student attendance and engagement. 

Healthy Schools Campaign
Provides a toolkit that focuses on preparing educators and school district decision-makers with knowledge and practical guidance for creating meaningful change to address health-related chronic absenteeism.
