Truancy Prevention

Building Pathways to Consistent Attendance 

Chronic absenteeism is one of the strongest predictors of student disengagement and dropout. But behind every absence is a story—transportation challenges, family responsibilities, disconnection from school, or deficiency of time management skills or motivation.  

Our Truancy Prevention program identifies students with attendance challenges and provides intensive, personalized support to remove barriers and rebuild their connection to school. 

What We Do

  • Conduct one-on-one meetings to understand each student's unique barriers to attendance 

  • Guide students to develop individualized attendance improvement plans with clear, achievable goals 

  • Provide incentives and opportunities that drive engagement  

  • Provide consistent monitoring, check-ins, and accountability 

  • Connect students and families with resources to address underlying challenges 

  • Celebrate attendance milestones and progress 

  • Facilitate group sessions that build peer connection and school belonging 

The Impact 

Students in our Truancy Prevention program experience 20-25% lower rates of unexcused absences than their peers not in our programs, putting them back on track for academic success and graduation.
