Working Together to Improve Student Attendance
The ATTEND Network is a collaborative initiative that brings school districts together to address chronic absenteeism and support student success. Through data-informed decision-making, shared learning, and cross-district collaboration, participating schools work to identify barriers to attendance, strengthen support systems, and implement strategies that help students stay engaged in learning. By focusing on the root causes of absenteeism, the ATTEND Network helps create conditions where every student has the opportunity to thrive.
