September is Attendance Awareness Month! Although attendance is everyone's business everyday, September is the month we get to really celebrate just being present! We can't talk graduation without attendance, we can't advocate for high-dosage tutoring if students don't show up, we can't change challenging behaviors if students aren't present to see good behaviors modeled. What will you do to encourage school attendance with your platform? Ideas: Systems and schools - can promote an attendance awareness campaign. Elected officials - can sign proclamations declaring September as Attendance Awareness Month AND participate in attendance campaigns with their constituents. Business owners - can donate incentives and time to support attendance initiatives as well as post support of regular school attendance in their establishments. Community-based volunteer organizations - can volunteer to be attendance mentors. Encourage students and families with canvas walks, community events, and assisting schools with welcome back phone calls (let's be real, a personal welcome back is much more effective than a blanket robo call). I'll share more ideas as we get closer to September and also during the Louisiana Attendance Alliance CWA monthly call in August. #BeMindfulBePresent #ChronicAbsence > #Truancy #Attendance #Engagement #Partnership

In our last post we talked about how property managers can help seniors. Now let's chat about how you can help families with school age children this Fall. As the new school year begins, families living in multi-unit residential buildings often face unique challenges getting their kids ready. Limited storage space, shared common areas, and lack of on-site facilities can make the back-to-school transition even more hectic. Here are some ways we can support these families and help make the back-to-school season a little easier: 1) Organize a donation drive for school supplies, backpacks, and other necessities. 2) Host after-school programs, homework help sessions, or tutoring in your communal space. 3) Coordinate to have a secure storage area for student belongings like sports equipment. 4) Plan community events like school supply swaps, parent info sessions, or family fun nights to build connections and support networks. UR Concierge Services is designed to help foster connection between managers, residents and the surrounding community.
