School Chronic Absenteeism

Chronic Absenteeism is one of the biggest challenges facing U.S. high schools today. With absenteeism rates soaring—70% of schools in certain areas report widespread issues compared to just 25% pre-pandemic—it’s clear we need bold, creative solutions.

We are trying to solve this problem with our AI Chatbot !

Let's dive into it ! šŸ”

Absenteeism is Stealing Futures

When students aren’t showing up, they’re missing out. Learning gaps widen, foundational skills like reading and math slip away, and the ripple effects hit hard—lower graduation rates, disengagement, and lost opportunities. Since the pandemic, chronic absenteeism has become a crisis, with millions of teens skipping school regularly. Often, it’s more than just ā€œI don’t feel like it.ā€ Emotional struggles—stress, anxiety, or feeling disconnected—are keeping students away. Schools are stretched thin trying to fix this, but traditional approaches alone aren’t cutting it.

That’s why we are building our AI Chatbot to bridge the gap between students and schools, even when they’re not physically in the classroom. It’s designed to check in with students—whether they’re in class or at home—and get a real-time pulse on their emotional well-being. Think of it as a companion that asks, ā€œHey, how are you feeling today?ā€ and actually listens and responds tirelessly. It’s a tool that meets teens where they are—on their phones—and helps schools stay connected to every student, every day.

Here’s how it works:

  • Daily Check-Ins: our chatbot sends short, casual prompts like, ā€œWhat’s your vibe today?ā€ or ā€œAnything on your mind?ā€ Students can reply with words, emojis (šŸ’”šŸ˜­šŸ‘šŸ»), or even a quick scale (1-10).

  • Data for Schools: Responses are anonymized and compiled into actionable insights for administrators and counselors. Spot trends like rising stress or disengagement before they turn into absences.

  • Support on Tap: If a student’s struggling, our chatbot can nudge them toward resources—think a human counselor chat, a mindfulness tip, or a link to a school support program.

  • No Pressure: It’s optional, private, and judgment-free. Students only share what they want, when they want.

Why This Matters for Administrators

For high school leaders, chronic absenteeism is a resource drain and a morale killer. Our chatbot provides a window into students’ emotional worlds—data you can use to prioritize outreach, allocate resources, and rebuild that critical school connection. Imagine catching a student’s dip in mood before they miss weeks of school. That’s proactive, not reactive, support. Plus, it’s scalable—whether you’ve got 500 students or 5,000, we adapt.

Bringing Students Back to What Really Matters

We understand that the world has become ever more complicated, and so the old way of education system is becoming obsolete. To change the whole educational system to accommodate current students’ needs is inevitable but can’t happen overnight. We believe our AI chatbot, can be a vital first step—a bridge to a future where schools truly meet teens where they are. By tuning into students’ TRUE emotional worlds, we don’t just fight chronic absenteeism; it rekindles their connection to school, one chat at a time.

We believe our chatbot isn’t just about getting students back in the physical door—it’s about reminding them why school is worth showing up for. Certainly, knowledge is everywhere online these days, but school is so much more. It’s the vibe of being together in the halls, the pride after finishing a team project, the teacher who really sees you, and the parents picking you up. When a student shares a quiet struggle and gets a nudge toward support, it’s a lifeline—a reason to show up, not just for grades, but for the messy, real moments that shape them.

Let’s work together to make high school a place they want to be, today and tomorrow.
