🎓 Why Attendance Is the First Step to Being On Track to Graduation

For years, research has shown one simple truth: students who attend school regularly are far more likely to graduate on time. Yet in many urban communities, daily attendance is shaped by complex challenges—transportation, family responsibilities, health issues, safety concerns, and more.

At Urban Home2School Network, we understand that showing up is not always as simple as setting the alarm. For many families, it takes support, understanding, and partnership. That’s why improving attendance is one of the core pillars of helping students stay On Track to Graduation.
