(Engelke, M.K., Guttu, M., Warren, W.B, & Swanson, M. (2008); Levy, M., Heffner, B., Stewart, T., Beeman, G. (2006). The California Attorney General’s Office, the Ad Council, California Endowment and community partners including CSNO, sent communications experts to interview nearly 1,000 parents of chronically absent elementary school students. They learned some very interesting things, including:
All of this information is now available in the form of a positive parent messaging toolkit. The toolkit includes all of the research reports, communication tools based on the research, and recommendations that will help district and community leaders develop their own communications strategies. Attendance Works is a national and state initiative that promotes better policy and practice around school attendance. We promote tracking chronic absence data for each student beginning in kindergarten, or ideally earlier, and partnering with families and community agencies to intervene when poor attendance is a problem for students or schools.Health Issues and absenteeism.

The rash typically appears first on the face, along the hairline, and behind the ears and then affects the rest of the body. Infected people are usually contagious from about 4 days before their rash starts to 4 days afterwards. Children routinely get their first dose of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine at 12 months old or later. The second dose of MMR is usually administered before the child begins kindergarten but may be given one month or more after the first dose.
