Attendance Works is a national organization that provides schools with resources to help boost student attendance.

In the summer of 2024, the Beaverton School District (OR) won a national school communications award for its recent attendance-focused campaign. The district has provided access to the materials associated with the campaign and given schools permission to use or adapt them as they see fit.
