Attendance & School Connection
Support for regular attendance, routines, school connection, and addressing barriers that may affect a student's ability to attend school consistently.
Family Resources
Student Support
Helping every student stay connected, supported, and on track.
District 5 schools work with families to support students' academic growth, attendance, wellness, belonging, and school connection. If a student needs additional support, families should begin by contacting their child's school.
School teams are best positioned to understand each student's needs and connect families with appropriate next steps. District 5 supports schools through coordinated systems such as MTSS, CRASEL, attendance support, and family partnership.
