Home & School Visitor

The Elizabethtown Area School District's Home & School Visitor works collaboratively with students, families, school staff, and community agencies to help remove barriers that may interfere with regular school attendance and student success. By building positive relationships with families and connecting them with available resources, the Home & School Visitor helps promote consistent attendance and support students in achieving their educational goals.

The Home & School Visitor provides assistance in a variety of areas, including:

• Promoting regular school attendance.
• Working with students and families to address attendance concerns.
• Developing Truancy Elimination Plans (TEPs).
• Connecting families with school and community resources.
• Supporting students experiencing barriers to academic success.
• Collaborating with school staff and outside agencies to promote positive student outcomes.

Attendance Support

When attendance concerns arise, the Home & School Visitor works proactively with students and families to identify the underlying causes of absences and develop strategies to improve attendance before legal intervention becomes necessary. Families are encouraged to reach out as early as possible if attendance becomes a concern or if they receive an attendance notification from the District.
