    Chronic absenteeism is a significant barrier to student achievement and long-term success, and educators play a critical role in addressing it. Regular attendance is key to academic growth, social development, and graduation readiness. Many students face challenges like health issues, family responsibilities, or lack of transportation that contribute to frequent absences. By fostering a welcoming and inclusive classroom environment, building strong relationships with students and families, and identifying patterns early, educators can help address the root causes of absenteeism. Collaboration with counselors, administrators, and community resources can further support efforts to remove barriers and reengage students in their education. Together, we can create a culture that emphasizes the importance of consistent attendance while providing the support students need to succeed.
