Hi Eva

Hi Chanta. :)

Thanks for the transition link!

Type your questions into this chat box, and we will pass them to our speakers. We’ll also add links to resources in this box

Thank you. :)

• Patrick Corvington, Executive Director, ConnectED, patrick@connect-education.orghttps://connect-education.org/

Thank you PIQE for the before / after graphic. That is helps people see that when people have the information and access then they can act in their student's interest.

@David Great point!

I support kids and families in DC as well <3

Any questions for Patrick? Type them in the chat box.

Do schools refer families to these organizations or do we let families know about these services? Is there a cost associated with the services?

Thanks for the q. @Pete. I’ve passed along to the speakers.

How do these organizations actually work with districts so that they learn / adopt / implement better practices?

Is the Connect Ed program exclusively for Washington, D. C. residents?

Hi Kwesi - this is Billy. Never mind my inquiry. I have been serving an entirely different community than the audience this call (thus far) is referencing. I will sit back and learn something new.

Great qs @Bill @Brenda. I’ve passed along to the speakers.

We are seeing more families that are experiencing homelessness

How are you supporting families who don't yet have IEPs or 504s, but need these? I'm concerned that not only are families with IEPs not getting the support they need... but you can't even get an IEP / 504 in many places right nor.

Hedy, you can plug the webinar with PIQE on 8/26

I don't feel ignored at all...SMILE. My prefer my name though which is BILLY, not Bill. I look forward to continued learning.....BILLY

From Patrick: The “Family Room” will be in multiple languages. We’ll have a series of “Family Rooms” that eventually will be parent led.

Parent Teacher Home Visits: http://www.pthvp.org/

Thank you

From Patrick: we work with schools - they refer families to us - roughly 1200 a year. And the services are free. We also work with community partners.

From Patrick: For now we only work in DC. But we are working on creating a replication guide. Feel free to reach out to me for more info. patrick@connect-education.org

I have a community meeting at 2PM, will be logging off. This was very helpful as it provided some information regarding a discussion my team had this morning regarding absenteeism........

Thanks for participating @Darniece!

From Gloria:

How can we receive information on trainings?

`You say teachers are compensated for home visits. How?

@Brenda - did you want trainings from Home Visits?

Is there a needs for ow tech materials, particularly for students in the early grades, and if so, how are you addressing that?

ttp://www.pthvp.org/ for more information

Yes please, information on training for home visits.

@brenda, check the PTHV website:

• Gina Martinez-Keddy, Executive Director, Parent Teacher Home Visits, gina@pthvp.orghttp://www.pthvp.org/

Are we getting the recording? and presentations?

Thank you!!

@Patrick, yes everyone who registers will receive link to the recording & presentation slides. Check your emails

@Catherine Thank you!!

The slides and link to the recording will also be posted on our website https://awareness.attendanceworks.org/resources/webinars/

From Gloria, PIQE : We develop a partnership wtih the district that enables us to provide training for district staff/school staff. And we encourage districts to support the skills devleopment of parents/families by investing in our approach to building assets and engagement.

Shoutout to Parent Teacher Home Visits! We do them every year and this year was no different. We did a virtual “welcome visit” for our incoming 6th graders and our rising 8th graders about the high school process through Zoom or phone call based on what parents preferred! We love visiting our families at home but we had to be safe this year.

From Gloria, PIQE: We work with schools and districts and we serve approximately 18,000 a year. The services are free for families and resources are on our website: piqe.org

@Fiorella, thanks for sharing!

This letter is amazing! I will be sharing this with my principal!

I thought we were mandated to mention the attendance law so parents could check it out.

Can't follow speaker, drop outs are more than words.

@Belinda we have posted Todd’s revised truancy letters on our website, and have explained this in a blog post: https://www.attendanceworks.org/writing-truancy-notices-that-can-improve-attendance/

@Catherine: Thank you!

Call in

Could we please see the letter again

Thank you for that answer about having to mention the law. I will use that

Attendance Works posted Todd’s revised truancy letters on our website, and have explained this in a blog post: https://www.attendanceworks.org/writing-truancy-notices-that-can-improve-attendance/

@Veronique, so glad!

Q: Regarding special ED. How is this going to impact the 1on1 Aides?

If special education is suspected then many services can be utilized while that determination is being made

Was there a response re: CEUs for this webinar?

@Sarah, please send an email to info@attendanceworks.org

Some students and families have not been in touch with their schools during the pandemic. We've developed a list of ideas and strategies for making this connection.https://www.attendanceworks.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Attendance-Works-Finding-Unreachable-Students-Generic-051120.pdf

Bye Everyone from Mississauga Canada, Pina, hope your having a great summer and see you in 2 weeks

A link to the AW resources for measuring attendance during covid: Key Concepts for Leveraging Chronic Absence During the Coronavirus Pandemichttps://www.attendanceworks.org/chronic-absence/addressing-chronic-absence/key-concepts-for-leveraging-chronic-absence-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic/

How do you address schools, when a teacher has already reached out to the parent and the parent ha denied services, but the counselor still provides a referral to you just for documentation, but the school counselor wants the social worker to follow up with the parent?

From Todd: hi folks. I am SO SORRY for the zoom issues. My contact info is todd_rogers@hks.harvard.edu if you have questions or if i can be useful

Thank you for your presentations today
