English term or phrase: non/poor attendance
I am worried about your child's non-attendance to school, she has a very, very poor attendance, and needs to show an improved level of attendance.

Could you please help me with non-attendance, poor attendance and improved level of attendance.
I hope I am not asking too much.
Thank you.

faltas de asistencia / faltas reiteradas de asistencia / faltar menos


Explanation:
Hola, Vanessa.
Así lo entiendo:
*non-attendance = que falta a clase / faltas de asistencia
*poor attendance = que falta mucho a clase / faltas reiteradas de asistencia
*an improved level of attendance = asistir más a clase / faltar menos

Un cordial saludo.
