"AttendanceK12" offers schools the ability to easily see which students have reached which thresholds under that legislation. It also offers customizable abilities, so schools can set their own parameters and reach out to parents earlier. The program makes it easy to get in touch with parents, too. Secretaries can automatically send out a letter via email to parents when their children have missed a certain number of hours, which districts have the ability to set for their own needs.
Ontario schools began using the program in 2021, right after COVID. The program was also piloted in Shelby City Schools and Madison Local Schools. Both districts saw drops in their chronic absenteeism rates after its implementation.
