Absenteeism on Nov. 1 doesn’t have to be scary! With Halloween around the corner, school leaders can be proactive and use this seasonal challenge as an opportunity to reinforce attendance. See our favorite tips from Education Week. 👻 Engage families early: Communicate with parents in the week leading up to Halloween to reinforce attendance, particularly for students with existing absentee issues 🔮 Avoid event overload: A day packed with non-academic activities might send the wrong message 🍭 Motivate with rewards: Encourage competition by awarding the class with the highest attendance on November 1 🎃 Think outside the box: One school’s eye-catching “pumpkin toss” event was a surprisingly effective attendance booster
