# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Attendance Works recommends a tiered approach that starts with foundational supports for the whole school. These foundational supports are followed by prevention-oriented supports for attendance (Tier1), more personalized outreach or early intervention (Tier 2), and intensive intervention (Tier 3).

How Can You Use this Toolkit?

This toolkit is designed to help educators and their community partners integrate attention to attendance and engagement into school daily operations. The goal is not to add more work to school staff who are stretched thin, but to enhance the effectiveness of what they already do.

The toolkit recognizes that showing up is just a first step for engagement and learning. It emphasizes working with students and families as partners to ensure students get to school every day possible, and have opportunities to connect, engage and thrive. For most students, this involves attending in-person instruction. But when that is not possible due to Covid, mental health or other barriers, ensuring access to quality remote learning is essential.

Showing Up Matters for R.E.A.L. is filled with free, ready-to-use messaging resources for everyone who understands that helping children and youth to get to school every day provides opportunities for students to achieve academically, develop socially and reach for their dreams.

When adapting R.E.A.L., consider where people in your school community have the greatest challenges. Get to know families so you can decide which talking point(s) make most sense. For example, if families are struggling with housing or basic needs, you might want to start with offering Access to resources rather than emphasizing routines.

This toolkit is organized into four key steps. Click on the step below for details, tools and talking points.

Data on chronic absence can help identify which students, or groups of students, might be in need of additional support. Once you know which students are at risk due to poor attendance, take stock of what you know about the reasons they do or don’t attend school.
