Welcome to our website.

Meet our dedicated team of innovators, educators, managers, consultants, designers, and school site specialists. We invite you to learn more about our products and services, our history and mission, and our proudest accomplishment of all: our people. Most of the dreamers, architects and builders of this success story have been with SI&A since inception.

We are a collaborative corps of hard-working, straight talking, and service-driven individuals. We believe in education. We can help you, your students and their families achieve great things.

We were founded in 2003, and have grown from our origins as the back-office facilitator for most of California’s school districts and county offices of education, into the creator of unparalleled products, most notably The Achievement Initiative, powered by Attention2Attendance® (A2A), a software solution that decreases school absenteeism by as much as 25 percent – and works 100 percent of the time.

Before expanding outside of California, we started as a compliance company dealing with the complex and constantly changing climate of state regulations, economic recession, school funding priorities and politically shifting paradigms.

Today our signature product – The Achievement Initiative – has created a new standard. The Achievement Initiative will improve your attendance numbers, bottom line and, most important, your students’ lives.

Why AMS #3: Allows attendance staff to spend more time with parents and students

Part 3 of a 7-part series: 7 reasons why K-12 education is investing in an Attendance Management System (AMS).

Educators are stressed to the limits. Have you heard or felt these sentiments?

"It’s going to be REALLY CHALLENGING to go back to our same system”

“I’m more than tired, I’m EDUCATOR TIRED”

“I FEEL LIKE A ZOMBIE at the end of every single day”

“I’ve never felt SO EXHAUSTED and THE OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES ARE NEVER ENDING”

“What we’re up against is OVERWHELMING”

How are attendance staff going to find the time to take the immediate action necessary to communicate with parents when they're wearing multiple hats due to staff shortages, or dealing with other issues that bring up these feelings?

Here's an example that causes more work than what's necessary for staff. When sending interventions communications, we've found that districts typically have a multi-step, multi-person, multi-departmental personnel dependent way to send out one negative (punitive, Ed. Code-driven) letter. This needs to occur daily at each school site.

Using an Attendance Management System (AMS), like SI&A's, saves staff tons of time and energy, and goes beyond what is required. On top of intervention communications, positive (engagement-driven) communications are sent to families in their home languages, eliciting positive emotion and connection to their child's school, prompting change in attendance patterns.

Providing the appropriate level of support to your team is imperative. Taking administrative and data analysis tasks off of over-burdened staff enables them to do what they do best - build connections with student sand families using actionable data provided through an AMS.

We'll get more into that data and how SI&A standardizes and streamlines data collected from districts next week in Part 4.
