Problem
1. Students that are chronically late and frequently absent are more likely to drop out.
2. Chronically absent students fall farther behind as they miss lessons that form the foundation for their learning.
Solution
Communicate. Talk to students about the importance of being on-time. Highlight the message with posters from our Student Attendance Series.
Call Home. Make calls and follow up on every unverified student absence. Make home visits to families of chronically late or absent students.
Create Incentives. Give awards for improved attendance.
Program Benefits
Students who attend school regularly are more likely to achieve educational success, increase their career options and achieve a greater sense well-being.
