EASIER MTSS
Strengthen Every
Tier of Support
An effective MTSS system depends on early insight and steady follow-through. SchoolStatus helps with both. Having academic, behavior, assessment, and attendance data in one place enables you to see needs sooner. Automated attendance interventions ensure your outreach is consistent and timely.
SchoolStatus offers clear visibility and MTSS-aligned communication, so you can improve outcomes across Universal, Targeted, and Intensive Supports.
Make MTSS Easier Across Your District
Move from Reactive Responses to Proactive Student Support
Early intervention is key to meaningful attendance gains. SchoolStatus helps you identify students who are trending toward chronic absenteeism after the first 60 days of school, and implement targeted attendance interventions before early indicators become permanent patterns.
Aligned Communication
for Every Tier
For universal supports to work, you need a positive school climate. Kids are excited to come to school when they know that the people there care about them. With SchoolStatus, you can build positive momentum by showcasing students in newsletters or by sending postcards that let them know they’re valued and that their attendance matters.
Data That Makes MTSS Actionable
A whole-child view matters because no single dataset explains why a student is struggling or progressing. SchoolStatus brings attendance, academics, behavior, and assessment signals into one connected view so teams can understand how these pieces fit together. With the full picture, teams can see patterns sooner, choose the right level of support, and keep MTSS interventions consistent across schools.
Consistency That Strengthens MTSS Across Schools
A consistent approach to attendance interventions helps district teams move from reacting to absences to supporting students with purpose. Automated outreach frees staff from manual tasks, giving them more time for real conversations with families. Districts like Troup County have used this approach to create space for one-on-one support and develop individual intervention plans rooted in their MTSS frameworks.
FAQ’s
How does SchoolStatus support MTSS?
SchoolStatus helps districts carry out MTSS by connecting key student data, such as attendance, behavior, academics, assessments, and communication, into one clear view. This connected data enables teams to act early, stay aligned, and deliver support that matches each student’s needs.
Below is how SchoolStatus supports MTSS across levels of intervention:
Universal Supports (Tier 1)
- Monitor attendance and engagement patterns for all students to understand overall trends
- Share school-wide updates and reminders that help build a positive school culture
- Identify days or times when attendance dips so teams can adjust Tier 1 supports, such as incentives or timely reminders
- Keep families informed through newsletters and mass notifications that build understanding and consistency
Targeted Supports (Tier 2)
- Spot early warning signs, such as repeated absences or changes in engagement, that signal a need for additional support
- Send focused attendance interventions that prompt follow-up and help staff reach students who need more attention
- Track communication and follow-up actions so teachers, counselors, and attendance teams stay aligned on next steps
- Use real-time attendance patterns to guide short-term, targeted plans for students needing additional support
Intensive Supports (Tier 3)
- Highlight students with patterns of persistent absenteeism to help determine when intensive interventions are needed
- Give authorized staff mobile access to key student information during check-ins or home visits
- Document interventions and communication attempts so teams can see what actions they have taken and evaluate their effectiveness
- Help district leaders understand where to focus staff time and resources based on students and schools with the highest level of need
How does SchoolStatus help with tiered communication?
Communication is central to MTSS. SchoolStatus helps teams keep it simple and consistent by giving them tools to reach families in their home language on any device. They can send districtwide notifications, school-level updates, or targeted messages tied to a student’s support plan.
Consistent communication helps families understand what’s happening, why it matters, and how they can support their child.
Can teams review student trends or patterns over time?
Yes. SchoolStatus gives districts clear views of attendance, engagement, and communication patterns, so teams can see when needs change and adjust support accordingly. For example, real-time attendance visibility helps leaders monitor trends across school sites and allocate resources more strategically.
Teams can easily review:
- Daily and weekly attendance patterns
- Engagement shifts
- Changes in family communication
- Differences between schools or grade levels
These insights help keep MTSS efforts consistent districtwide.
How does SchoolStatus support MTSS meetings and collaboration?
SchoolStatus makes it easier for MTSS teams to walk into meetings with the same information. Staff can reference the same attendance and engagement trends, see communication history, and review follow-ups in one place, reducing the back-and-forth that slows decisions.
This shared view helps teams stay aligned on next steps and focus their time on what students need.
Is there support for onboarding and training?
Yes. SchoolStatus provides full-service implementation and ongoing support. You’ll work with a Customer Success Manager who will help your team get started, answer questions, and make sure the tools fit your district’s MTSS goals.
