Attendance Strategies

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, during the 2020 - 2021 school year, every school is an Every Student, Every Day school.

The Challenge

One in five NYC Public School students is chronically absent. This means that over 200,000 students miss a month or more of school per year.

Chronically absent students are defined as students who miss more than 18+ days in the previous school year or are currently on track to miss as much (2+ days per month). This is still the case for students participating in remote or blended learning.
