School Avoidance Resources

School Avoidance Resources

Attendance is critical for your child’s academic and social emotional success! Some students may be exhibiting school avoidance behaviors, which in turn can impact their attendance. 

The Office of Student Health and Wellness (OSHW) Mental Health Team created an informational video that provides an overview of school avoidance and offers guidance on how parents and caregivers can support their students facing this issue. The videos are linked below.

If you have any questions or need further information, please send an email to mentalhealth@cps.edu.
