Elevating School Attendance: The Game-Changing Approach

In the dynamic realm of education, innovation holds the power to reshape and refine methodologies. At Encouraging Arts, our commitment to innovation is unwavering, driven by a profound belief in its potential to make a significant difference in education. It is this belief that spurred the creation of our innovative attendance boards, destined to redefine the way schools everywhere approach and monitor attendance.


The weight of the attendance issue is staggering. California alone has witnessed a loss of over a billion dollars due to attendance challenges. When an issue is so prominent that it carves out such a financial dent, it becomes imperative to confront it directly, searching for tangible solutions. The attendance boards by Encouraging Arts emerge as that tangible solution, marrying data with design, effectiveness with aesthetics.


How It Works:

The genius of our attendance boards lies in their simplicity and transparency. These boards operate as real-time barometers of attendance, collecting and showcasing data that paints an authentic picture of the school's attendance landscape.



Students play an active role, becoming stakeholders in this conversation about school attendance. They, alongside their teachers, are tasked with updating the boards, plugging in numbers, and ensuring that the data mirrors reality. This act of participation doesn't just make the data more accurate; it also instills a sense of responsibility among students, making them active contributors to a narrative that directly impacts them.


For school leaders and administrators, these boards are nothing short of a revelation. As they walk the hallways, they're greeted by immediate, tangible data. No longer do they need to wade through spreadsheets or digital dashboards. Instead, the story of attendance, with its highs and lows, is laid out right in front of them. This real-time data enables them to identify the success stories, the classrooms where attendance thrives, and, equally importantly, to spot the pain points.


These 'pain points' or problem areas become focal points for intervention. School leaders can immediately discern patterns, identify challenges, and create actionable strategies. By addressing issues head-on, they're not just reacting to symptoms but actively targeting the root causes, devising strategies that are both reactive and proactive.


The Encouraging Arts Difference: Every school we've collaborated with has witnessed transformative results. Within a span of just two years, schools have reported a substantial +2.5% whole school surge in attendance rates year over year. But statistics are just one part of our success story.


Beyond numbers, our attendance boards are works of customization. We understand that each school is unique, with its distinct ethos, and aspirations. Our boards reflect this individuality. They're tailored, designed to align with the specific brand and identity of each school, ensuring that they don't just fit in, but actively complement the school's ambiance.



At Encouraging Arts, our journey is defined by a singular mission: to leverage innovation in revolutionizing education. Our attendance boards are a testament to this mission, and we invite schools everywhere to join us in this transformative journey. As we continue to refine and expand our offerings, we're not just looking at improving attendance; we're envisioning a future where every student recognizes the value of education, one day at a time, one school at a time!
