Early intervention phone calls home can be an effective strategy for improving student attendance. Here are some ways in which this can work:

  1. Building relationships: When teachers or school staff members make early intervention phone calls home, they can build relationships with families and students. This personal connection can motivate students to attend school regularly, as they feel that their teachers care about their success.

  2. Identifying and addressing barriers: Through these phone calls, teachers can identify any barriers that may be preventing students from attending school, such as transportation or health issues. Once these barriers are identified, teachers can work with families and school staff to address them, making it easier for students to attend school regularly.

  3. Reinforcing expectations: Early intervention phone calls home can also reinforce the expectation that regular school attendance is important for success. By reminding families and students of this, teachers can help students understand the importance of attending school and the consequences of excessive absences.

  4. Celebrating successes: When students attend school regularly, it is important to recognize and celebrate their successes. Early intervention phone calls home can be an opportunity for teachers to congratulate families and students on their progress and encourage them to continue their attendance efforts.

Overall, early intervention phone calls home can be an effective way to improve student attendance by building relationships, identifying and addressing barriers, reinforcing expectations, and celebrating successes. By working collaboratively with families and school staff, teachers can help create a positive school culture that values regular attendance and promotes student success.
