We need social workers, school psychologists, better family housing & social supports. not cops. Not SROs. Not truancy officers.
Chronically absent kids aren’t simply victims of poor parenting (misconception). They have u treated anxiety & trauma (does your school lack MH staff?) #attendancemattersri

See how Ss who need interventions begin to fear & avoid school? 👇That's why you need to build your MTSS systems w free PD on BRIDGE-RI #attendancemattersRI @MTSSRI.
Academic & behavior struggles & poor attendance…which came 1st? Chicken or the egg? We need to prevent and support the whole child #attendancemattersri #cool2beinschool

Want to help attendance? Free PD is available on BRIDGE-RI to help staff build connections, support Sss w anxiety, build communities & support Ss self-regulation. Everything your SIT needs #attendancemattersRI.
Next is a HS example, what contributes to chronic absenteeism? Principal: It wasn’t what I expected. Diverse barriers & causes #attendancemattersri #cool2beinschool

In a school that targets vulnerable Ss, once again - poor parenting is not the cause of chronic absenteeism. Need housing.Need MH support.Need childcare .Need family support/social support.#ittakesavilllage #attendancemattersRI

There is a world class athlete who travels, a student or two who truly learned they can be absent & pass/do fine, Ss who just don’t feel a future for them, need for MH support…also discussed role of the sch guidance counselor #attendancemattersri.
