Attendance Support
Every student's attendance, every day, increases their opportunities to learn, grow and be an integral, contributing member of their classroom community. That is why the North Cook Intermediate Service Center provides member districts with direct support in increasing student attendance. When a student is showing attendance problems - even before they have reached "chronic truant" status - NCISC Attendance Liaisons can work with the student, family and school to improve attendance through a variety of actions including home visits, resource provision, creation and enforcement of attendance contracts, and uncovering and removing any barriers that might be present that impede school attendance.
New! Custom Attendance Support Program
While many schools have attendance policies and take positive steps to boost student attendance, often, districts don't have the resources or expertise to plan and implement a comprehensive response to the complex issues of absenteeism and truancy.
The NCISC Attendance Team can work with schools to develop a comprehensive, custom program to tackle those issues, providing all students the opportunity to succeed.
