Episode 12: Too 'School' to Miss: Getting our Kids to Show Up! with Amy Steele-Smith, Board of Education Member

Update: 2023-02-10

Description

Did you know that 19% of our students are NOT showing up every day? (this is a Utah Statistic but it is similar to neighboring states). Absenteeism is a growing problem throughout the nation's classrooms.

This interview with (Utah) State Board of Education Prevention Specialist, Amy Steele-Smith, helps us understand the following:

How to help our most missed students--Kindergartners! Full day Kindergarten might be the solution.
How to help an anxious child feel supported and needed at school, one step at at time.
How to take that family vacation, but give the message to your kids that school is a high priority.
