What Does the Research Say About Improving Attendance?
• The pattern of non-attendance starts early
• Intervention in elementary years is the most effective

What we have learned so far…
• Manitoba has very good average attendance
• Attendance concerns are complex
• Students with attendance from 80% and up tend to “fly under the radar”
• Interventions need to be targeted to specific groups of students
![Page 18: Attendance Initiative Manitoba Education](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042822/5697bf8d1a28abf838c8c0a6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Next Steps
• Use data to inform our actions
• Provide a clear message to students, parents, community that regular daily attendance is critical for student success
• Implement evidence based practices in schools
• Continue to build partnerships
