[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could reach out and ask how you ensure absences are excused. But otherwise DCPS will not do anything about absences. That is a CYA form letter. [/quote] It is not CYA. It is an intervention meant to address the truancy issues many posters are noting and complaining about in other threads. Not every intervention is perfect for every family. This specific texting approach is evidenced based and in low performing schools was shown to boost attendance by a modest amount.[/quote] Ah yes please visit the truancy thread to see how well DCPS’ attendance policies and methods are helping get students to attend school. These texts just start to piss people off. Lots of families don’t even get the texts .[/quote]
