Class In Session: WCS Teachers, Administrators Focus on Student Attendance and Participate in Waiver Day Learning Activities

Although school was not in session for students on Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2024, teachers and administrators of the Warren City School District still reported to class.

They participated in the district’s second waiver/ professional development day of the year.

Teachers from across the district, representing grade preschool to 12th, participated in learning opportunities ranging from lesson design, eliciting student responses, vocabulary routines  to robotics and technology. 

“Each session was planned and led by district personnel, and aligned to our district goals,” explained Chief Academic Officer Wendy Hartzell.

Teachers and administrators spent time learning how to reduce chronic absenteeism.

Participants explored what constitutes chronic absenteeism, analyzed data trends, learned about attendance intervention efforts currently practiced in WCS, and began to identify strategies and processes that can be used to intervene with their students and families who are demonstrating attendance concerns, explained Dante Capers, Associate Superintendent of Student Services, Student Wellness and Success.
