Tackling Absenteeism with Digital Communication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In today’s educational landscape, maintaining consistent student attendance is more critical than ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SchoolStatus Attend is built on proven practices of mailed interventions for at-risk students using positive messaging. While partner districts are seeing incredible results from their mailed campaigns, many have asked for more options for digital attendance education and interventions. To meet this request, we’re excited to introduce our new groundbreaking Digital Engagement Campaign<\/em>\u2014a targeted approach to reducing absenteeism through strategic and trackable, supportive emails and text messages!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our personalized digital school-home communications provide grade-specific guidance and educate families on the importance of regular attendance\u2014before students are chronically absent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
