here to help!
Washington is focused on improving attendance and strengthening family engagement with updated truancy guidance and the new Family Engagement Framework.
SchoolStatus helps districts build on this state focus by uncovering attendance trends, connecting with families in their preferred language, and leveraging data to support student success.
Support Washington Attendance Goals with Smarter Interventions
Washington districts are taking action to meet the state’s chronic absenteeism goals under RCW 28A.225 and OSPI’s attendance guidance. With SchoolStatus, you can do more than track attendance—you can automate interventions that get students back in class faster. Send timely, consistent outreach to families, log every interaction for state reporting, and ensure no student falls through the cracks.

Set Up an Early Warning System That Helps You Act Fast
Washington’s Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) encourages districts to use MTSS and the state’s attendance and truancy frameworks to identify issues early.
With SchoolStatus, you can view attendance, behavior, and communication data in one dashboard. Now, it’s easy to spot early risk indicators, coordinate with support staff, and intervene before absences become chronic.
Engage Families in Every Conversation
Washington’s Family Engagement Framework and related guidance emphasize the importance of shared decision-making, open communication, and meaningful partnerships among families, schools, and communities. With SchoolStatus, you can reach families in the way that works best for them: text, email, phone call, or in the app. Messages are automatically translated, so every family can stay informed and involved.

Make It Easy to Capture Family Engagement for State Reporting
In Washington, attendance and family/community engagement are linked to accountability frameworks such as the state’s ESSA plan and the state’s strategic education efforts. With SchoolStatus, every message, call, or update is automatically logged. You’ll have a clear record of communication that you can include in your district’s reporting and planning.
