School Attendance & Engagement

Our Priorities
Written By Kait Fedro

Every day in school matters

Support consistent attendance and meaningful engagement in school systems to support student success and well-being.

 

why this matters to our community

Consistent attendance and meaningful engagement in school are vital to a child’s well-being and long-term success. Yet, factors such as mental health challenges, family environments, or lack of resources can make regular attendance difficult.

OCOF is working to bridge those gaps—bringing together schools, families, and community partners to help students feel supported, valued, and connected. Through collaboration, we create learning environments where every student has the opportunity to grow, belong, and succeed.
