As school Districts reconvene across the country, many Districts will be faced with a familiar problem, truancy. Truancy is a major issue that affects everyone. FamilyFirst™ Alerts Truancy CRT and XLT were developed to intervene at the first signs of truant behavior. Early intervention is the key. Truancy is frequently misunderstood, as the causes are numerous and the signs vary widely. The implementation of the FamilyFirst™ Alerts Truancy Program allows school administrators to catch problems early and take the necessary steps to stop any future occurrences. Now, parents will be notified instantly of a child’s absence, and assured that the school is doing everything it can to ensure their child’s success. Parents can be contacted by phone, text message and email. System can be customized for compliance with state and federal programs.

Our goal is to be a partner in securing a brighter future for our nation’s youth.
