• What’s working well in our current attendance efforts? 

• Are there grade levels or subgroups with improving attendance? 

• What strategies or incentives have shown positive results (mentorship, PBIS rewards)? 

• Are any Tier 1 practices (check-in and connect, attendance contract, family contact) helping? 

• Do certain teachers/staff build strong attendance-driven relationships with students? 

Weaknesses 

• Where are we falling short? 

• Which grades are most affected by severe chronic absenteeism? Why do you believe that is? 

• Are interventions being implemented with fidelity? Are they data-driven? 

• Are communication practices with families timely, consistent, and supportive? 

• Are there system breakdowns in identifying, tracking, or addressing absences? 

Opportunities 

• What untapped strategies or supports could improve attendance? 

• Can we strengthen Tier 2 interventions (attendance contracts, success coaches)? 

• How can we better use technology to engage students/families (texts, apps, dashboards)? 

• Could we implement student-led attendance initiatives or peer mentoring? 

Threats 

• What external or internal factors may continue to hinder progress? 

• Are housing instability, transportation, or safety issues driving absenteeism? 

• Is there a lack of trust or engagement from families in certain subgroups? 

• Are school climate or student-teacher relationships negatively impacting attendance? 

• Are staff inconsistencies in policy enforcement affecting student perceptions?
