When to Reach Out & What to Say: Lessons from 1.3M Attendance and Engagement Data Points

The fight against chronic absenteeism doesn’t have to be guesswork—new data shows exactly what moves the needle. Hear from the SchoolStatus team as they share findings from 1.3 million data points on attendance and family engagement to uncover when to reach out, what to say, and who to prioritize to get students back in class.

You’ll get a first look at the patterns behind successful outreach, which days and times families are most responsive, and how positive, insight-driven messages build trust and action.

During this free on-demand webinar, you’ll learn:

• Who to prioritize: Which students and families are most likely to respond, and when
• When to reach out: The days, times, and months when engagement is most likely to make an impact
• What to say: The language and tone that motivates families and improves attendance rates
