Oakley Union Elementary School District in Contra Costa, CA is using SchoolStatus Attend to tackle chronic absenteeism and streamline attendance data management with trends analysis. Recognizing that student absence is rarely a result of family indifference, the district works closely with families and community partners to understand and address the complex barriers preventing consistent school attendance. 

Their strategy relies on a data-driven methodology that seeks to identify and automatically intervene with at-risk students who are facing challenges that keep them away from the classroom. By employing proactive outreach and targeted interventions with SchoolStatus Attend, Oakley Union demonstrates a commitment to understanding individual student circumstances. This approach transforms attendance management from a time-consuming administrative task into a focused, targeted effort to return students to school.

The district has seen an immediate impact with a 36% year-over-year decrease in chronic absenteeism and 49% of at-risk students returning to school after a single intervention. Oakley Union’s work with SchoolStatus Attend creates a supportive ecosystem that prioritizes family engagement, addresses individual student needs, and ensures every child has an opportunity to learn and grow.
