Turn attendance concerns into follow‑through.

Agenteach helps counselors, teachers, and attendance teams follow up with students who are missing school, and keeps a record of every step, ready for state attendance requirements.

The Agenteach prototype: a synthetic student’s attendance plan agreed with the family, with each follow-up step, its owner, its status and a reminder. — The Agenteach prototype, shown with synthetic data.

Notice. Reach out. Keep the record.

Notice

See who needs a look, with attendance, grades, and notes in one view.

Reach out

Get a drafted email to the family or a suggested escalation to a counselor. Nothing is sent until a person reviews it.

Keep the record

Flags, emails, and meetings build a support history for each student.

Follow one student back to school.

A student misses school

Today
A teacher takes attendance, and the absence is coded in the student information system, the official record.

Agenteach’s role
Leave the official record where it is. Agenteach starts when someone needs to follow up.

In NYC
Schools should record the reason for each absence in ILOG, using reason codes.¹

The family hears from school

Today
Someone calls or messages home, often working from a list. What the family said is written down later, if at all.

Agenteach’s role
Give the call an owner and a time, and keep what was learned. The call itself happens by phone or in your messaging tool.

In NYC
Schools must make every effort to reach parents on the first day of an absence, and the main method is a personal phone call. For students with child welfare involvement, automated calls may not be used.¹

Someone notices a pattern

Today
A teacher notices something in class and mentions it by email or in the hallway, if at all. Reports show who is slipping.

Agenteach’s role
Send a teacher’s flag to the student’s case owner, and open a plan when a student needs one.

Today
The attendance team meets with reports open. Who agreed to do what often lives only in the notes.

Agenteach’s role
Turn each decision into a step with an owner and a due date, and bring open steps back to the next meeting.

In NYC
Each school’s Attendance Committee holds weekly meetings and checks that reason codes, outreach, and interventions are entered in ILOG. A school avoidance liaison sits on the committee.¹

A plan with the family

Today
If there is a plan, it is usually a document. Its steps seldom have owners or dates.

Agenteach’s role
Hold the plan: the barriers, the goals, and each step with its owner and date.

In NYC
For chronically absent students, schools should work with parents and students on an attendance success plan.¹

Follow-through

Today
Check-ins and calls happen, often tracked in a spreadsheet. Whether each one happened is hard to see.

Agenteach’s role
Nudge each owner when a step is due, and check that it happened.

In NYC
Schools must set up specific interventions, such as Success Mentors, and all outreach and intervention efforts must be entered into ILOG.¹

Today
Attendance reports show the trend. If a student needs more support, someone pieces the history together by hand.

Agenteach’s role
Show whether attendance improved after each step, and keep the history of every step ready if more support is needed.

In NYC
A Form 407 referral is generated automatically when a student is absent for 10 consecutive days.¹

Tiers of attendance support

Tier 1 Universal prevention. Strategies for all students that encourage better attendance and prevent absenteeism before it affects achievement².
Tier 2 Early intervention. More personalized outreach that removes barriers to attendance for students at greater risk of chronic absenteeism, such as those who missed 10% of the school year².
Tier 3 Intensive intervention. Intensive support for students missing the most school, often with other agencies such as health, housing and social services; students missing 20% or more of the school year benefit from it².

Chronic absence, state by state.

Select a state to see its chronic absence rate, the school year it covers, and the source.

The attendance plan, and everything around it, in one place.

We’re building Agenteach to work alongside the tools your school already uses. It isn’t where the official attendance record is kept, and it doesn’t replace how you message families. It’s built to hold each student’s plan and the coordination around it.

Student information systems

Built to keep the official attendance record.

Messaging tools

Built to reach families when a student is absent.

Agenteach

Built to hold the plan, and the coordination around it.

What we’re building

Every step has an owner and a due date, a nudge when it’s due, a check that it happened, a look at whether attendance improved, and a record of each step built as you go.

For the team that follows up.

What we’re designing for each role.

Counselors

Every student’s plan, and who owns each step.

Attendance teams

A nudge when each step is due.

School and district leaders

See which interventions happened, and which helped.

Teachers

Flag a concern; it reaches the student’s case owner.

Designed so schools stay in control of student data.
