Student attendance isn't just a paperwork problem-it's a connection problem. This guide helps schools move beyond compliance and build a culture where students want to show up.

Authors Carla Braun, JR Entsminger, and Jack Baldermann offer field-tested strategies and real-world methods to help schools manage the ever-growing attendance crisis, reengage students, and create the conditions that turn attendance into a consistent, daily habit.

  • Address the root causes of absenteeism with effective strategies

  • Implement data collection and analysis tools to inform proactive interventions
