The Willingboro Public School District is administering a Chronic Absenteeism survey to better understand the factors and barriers that contribute to student absences. This survey is a preliminary screening tool, part of a comprehensive assessment to help identify the underlying reasons for a student’s attendance patterns.
As a parent or guardian, please complete the survey in its entirety. It should take no more than 15 minutes. Your thoughtful, candid responses will provide a holistic view of the factors affecting students’ school attendance and inform planning to improve attendance.
Important details:
Purpose: Identify factors contributing to absenteeism to inform a personalized support plan for schools and students.
Time commitment: about 15 minutes.
Deadline: Please submit by May 15, 2026.
Who should participate: Parents/guardians of students enrolled in Willingboro Public Schools.
Privacy: Responses are anonymous and will be used to help the district develop targeted supports and interventions.
Your participation is essential to help us create effective strategies to support every student’s attendance and success.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to our students’ well-being and education.

We are always so grateful to partner with you in the academic and social emotional development of your learners. To ensure the safety and smooth dismissal of all students, we kindly ask for your cooperation with the following reminder.
Dismissal time is focused on safely transitioning students from school to home. For this reason, it is not an adequate time for conversations with teachers at the entrance.
If you have a concern or would like to speak with your child’s teacher, please reach out through Thrillshare, email, or by scheduling an appointment. Our staff is always happy to connect with you and discuss any questions or concerns at a more appropriate time.
Please note that for the safety of everyone, any parent wishing to meet with a teacher must sign in at the main entrance and meet in a designated area, such as the classroom. This way we prioritize the confidentiality of sensitive matters.
We appreciate your understanding and partnership in helping us maintain a safe and efficient dismissal process for all students.
Thank you for your continued support.
