Honors and celebrations for excellence

When more than a third of students were chronically absent in 2022–23, Clark County School District (CCSD) took bold action. Through the “Every Day Matters” initiative, the district created a coordinated, community-wide approach to attendance—and the results are showing.

When 62.5% of students at Carver College and Career Academy (Chesterfield County Public Schools, Virginia) were identified as chronically absent, the team knew something had to change. But instead of doubling down on punishment, they reimagined what it means to want to come to school.

Check out the winners of the first annual Attendance Innovation Awards and tune in on August 14 at 2 pm ET/11 am PT to hear directly from the educators at each of these districts and perhaps incorporate some of their winning strategies into your own attendance efforts in the 25-26 school year.

And with a blink of an eye, another year has come and gone. Wondering what the team at EveryDay Labs has been up to in 2023? That is, besides improving attendance and family engagement nationwide? Read on for the highlights!
