Family Engagement is the Secret Sauce
for Strong Attendance!
As you plan for the 2025-26 school year, consider how you can build up the partnership between educators and schools that eroded during the pandemic. Brittany Daley, principal of Hamilton Elementary School, shares how she and her school staff have rebuilt this relationship with families and significantly reduced chronic absence.
Schedule activities that promote positive engagement, relationship building and a sense of community that leaves everyone feeling like school is a place they belong. Find ideas and resources for welcoming students and families back to school in our Showing Up Matters for R.E.A.L. toolkit.
The nonprofit Learning Heroes developed a set of recommendations and examples to build a comprehensive family engagement strategy that directly impacts student learning and well-being.
