How does the RaaWee ATTENDANCE+™ and Attendance Works partnership strengthen student attendance?
RaaWee ATTENDANCE+™ and Attendance Works have partnered to help districts strengthen student attendance with both proven practices and innovative technology.

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
