<span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Good afternoon,</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black;">I hope you are well! We are currently reaching out to school nurses and districts that may be interested in addressing chronic absenteeism in their schools utilizing our evidence-based toolkit in the 2023-24 school
year. </span><b><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Please respond if you are interested in receiving more information or possibly in having your district participate.</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black;">We currently have participants in Madawaska and Woodland Consolidated Schools.
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black;"><b>As school nursing leaders in Maine, would you recommend any school nurses or districts that may be good candidates for us to contact? If you do, I'd greatly appreciate any names you may recommend.</b></span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black;">This is a great way to show the value of the school nurses in relation to attendance and their role on the school-wide teams addressing these issues. Prior to agreeing, NASN holds an information session with school
nurse and any district/building administrators with interest in the project. There is a district agreement and school nurse agreement that would be completed prior to participation.
