📚 Supportive school environments often keep students engaged and coming back. Recognition of good or improved attendance can be part of creating a positive school-wide culture. Recognition works best as part of a more comprehensive approach that builds connection and engagement rather than relying on punitive responses to absences. Explore our Attendance Recognition page for ideas that support positive conditions for learning.

Students are more likely to come to school when they know that someone cares about them, and when there are exciting and relevant lessons. Connection and meaningful engagement give students more reasons to show up every day possible. https://awareness.attendanceworks.org/
