Reflections:

BOY: WCSD employs an Attendance Officer to support families, students, and school administrators in reducing barriers to regular school attendance. The Attendance Officer collaborates with building administrators to identify students with chronic absenteeism and implement targeted interventions. Once concerns are identified, outreach may include parent communication, home and school visits, and direct support to address the underlying causes of absences. The Attendance Officer also assists with practical solutions such as transportation, clothing, and wake-up supports, and provides positive incentives for improved attendance. This proactive approach strengthens family partnerships and promotes consistent and timely student attendance.
