How Sown To Grow improves attendance

It starts with a simple weekly check in that gives students a space to share how they are feeling & what is going on in their life with a trusted adult.

As students reflect & educators respond, they build connection & belonging. Students who feel seen & supported are more likely to show up.

MTSS groups & alerts allow leaders to identify the root causes of student needs earlier to proactively address barriers that keep kids out of school.

“In our attendance meeting we really try to look critically into who's chronically absent and why, and that involves Sown To Grow. I will bring a list of students that have been flagged in Sown to Grow and we might see things that are related to transportation or related to a family issue, and we'll look at that alongside raw attendance data to decide what intervention or incentive we might use."
