About
Our Partnership
RaaWee ATTENDANCE+™ and Attendance Works have partnered to help districts strengthen student attendance with both proven practices and innovative technology. Attendance Works brings nationally recognized expertise in research, policy, and strategies to reduce chronic absenteeism. The industry-leading technology, a powerful platform, and a toolset in RaaWee ATTENDANCE+™ integrate with district systems to provide real-time data, early alerts, and tools for timely, effective interventions.
In his interview with Attendance Works, RaaWee CEO Saleem Qazi shared that RaaWee has been engaging with Attendance Works’ leadership since 2015. That influence shaped Attendance+ to aggregate multiple data sources, identify students at risk of chronic absence, reduce staff workload, and support meaningful family engagement, making it easier for districts to act quickly and equitably.
Family Engagement: The Secret Sauce for Attendance
Strong, trusting relationships with families are at the heart of improving attendance. Attendance Works has long championed the belief that when families feel connected to schools, students are more likely to show up, engage, and succeed.
RaaWee ATTENDANCE+™ helps districts bring this belief to life. With proactive data tools and automated family outreach, schools can:
- Identify emerging attendance issues early
- Communicate easily with families in their home language
- Track engagement efforts and outcomes over time
- Build trust through timely, personalized support
