[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] But why is an intervention needed for an excused absence? This is what people are annoyed about. Your kid is sick, you tell the school, you still get multiple reminders about how important it is to be there. I can ignore them, sure. But they’re like little tiny reminders of DCPS’ incompetence. (Also I truly question that they increase attendance for the group they’re actually targeting, but ok.)[/quote]
