Introducing Attendance Champions
Across districts, leaders are driving meaningful improvements in attendance through focused, consistent work. Attendance Champions is a new series dedicated to recognizing these efforts and sharing the strategies behind them.
Each feature highlights practitioners who are building stronger systems, engaging their communities, and delivering measurable progress. These are real stories from the field, grounded in practice and designed to be useful to others doing this work.
Want to Build a Strategic Attendance Plan for 2026–2027?
Our virtual workshop series is already underway, helping district teams turn the Definitive Guide into a clear, step-by-step attendance plan. Each session walks through a critical part of the work, from organizing your team to implementing and adapting strategies that drive results.
Join the upcoming sessions to build a plan you can carry into next year, one that’s aligned, actionable, and built for long-term impact.
Register for all six events to earn CEUs and unlock opportunities to win $50 Amazon gift cards based on your participation.

RaaWee at TATDP
This year’s Texas Association for Truancy and Dropout Prevention conference, hosted by our partners at Killeen ISD, brought together attendance and student support leaders committed to improving student outcomes across Texas.
RaaWee Attendance+ was honored to contribute through a keynote feature, a breakout session, and an attendance panel. These engagements created space to share practical strategies, exchange ideas, and learn directly from the professionals leading this work in their districts.
The conversations and insights gained continue to inform how we support districts in building stronger, more effective attendance systems grounded in real challenges and measurable progress.
We Want to Hear from You!
At RaaWee, we know that strong attendance starts with strong partnerships—and that means listening to you.
