Real-World Impact
Attendance is one of the strongest indicators of student success.

Example:
“Good morning! We noticed Ava is absent today. Please reply with the reason when you can. Thank you for helping us keep her attendance on track!”

- Suggested interventions
- Tier 1–3 recommendations
- Meeting guides
- Family outreach scripts
- Re-engagement plans
This helps schools act proactively, not reactively.
Suggested Actions for Emerging or Chronic Absences
When a student is approaching chronic absenteeism (missing 10% or more of school days), schools often need clear, actionable next steps.
The Attendance Agent provides compassionate, structured guidance aligned to MTSS.
Chronic Absence Example:
A student has missed 9 days by January and is trending toward chronic absence.
The agent recommends:
Tier 1: Classroom-Level Supports
- Friendly teacher check-in
- Participation in attendance challenges
- Positive reinforcement for being on time
- Consistent classroom routines
Tier 2: Targeted Outreach
- Personal message to family
“We want to support your child’s success. How can the school help with mornings?”
- 2-week attendance goal (“8 of the next 10 days”)
- Identify family barriers (transportation, sleep, routines)
- Weekly teacher contact
- Check-in/check-out system
Tier 3: Intensive Support
- School team meeting with family
- Re-engagement plan created with student input
- Connect family with community resources
- Attendance mentor
- Weekly monitoring
- Supportive home visit scripts (if appropriate)
Family-Friendly Script:
“Our goal is to support your child in feeling successful at school. We’ve noticed some attendance challenges and want to partner with you to make mornings easier. Here are a few ideas we can try together…”
This keeps communication supportive and reduces defensiveness.
