Get the Best Practice Guide
Today, 1 in 4 students is chronically absent from school, meaning they miss at least 10 percent, or approximately 18 days, of the school year. Chronic absenteeism is associated with negative outcomes in academic achievement, personal relationships, social-emotional health, and graduation rate.
While there’s no easy solution to chronic absenteeism, family engagement is one of the most effective ways that districts and schools can address the problem. Research shows that strong partnerships between home and school are linked to a number of positive student outcomes—including attendance.
- Preventing chronic absenteeism – Engaging in regular communication with families, notifying families about absences in real time, and creating a positive school culture
- Managing chronic absenteeism – Developing targeted interventions that meet families where they are, ensuring that families are reachable, and building partnerships with the community
