Community advocates

Increasing school attendance is a team sport.

The Attendance Network encourages you to show your support for school attendance by joining Stay in the Game! and helping build awareness for attendance in your community.

Get started by filling out this form to get access to our Community/Business Partner Checklist – a list of easy ways to begin supporting the students in your community and helping Ohio achieve its goal of reducing chronic absenteeism by 50% by 2029.

Here are steps and tools to help you start a campaign in your community

First, take the pledge to support students

Take the Attendance Pledge as a first step in demonstrating your commitment! Share the link with friends to tell your school district that it’s time to get serious about attendance.

Take the Pledge

Then, encourage others to show their support!

By hanging up a poster or putting a yard sign at your local libraries, businesses, faith-based intuitions, etc. you are helping to spread the word about the importance of attendance.
