%20(69).jpg)
Dear Colleagues and Partners,
Welcome to the California Association of Supervisors of Child Welfare & Attendance (CASCWA). It is my honor to serve a community deeply committed to supporting California’s students, especially those facing the greatest challenges. At CASCWA, we believe that attendance, engagement, and student well-being are the foundation for success. Through collaboration, advocacy, and profession-driven learning, we equip our members with practical tools, timely guidance, and a strong professional network to meet the evolving needs of students and families.
Our work is rooted in action, whether advancing effective attendance strategies, supporting vulnerable youth, or shaping policies that impact our schools statewide. Together, we are building systems that ensure every student is seen, supported, and able to thrive. Thank you for being part of this important work. I encourage you to explore our resources, engage in our learning opportunities, and connect with colleagues across the state.
Your leadership makes a difference.
Warm regards,
Erica Peterson
State Director
