Model, Mentor and Monitor

Showing that you care helps to form a connection with the students. When I have a student who misses a class, I telephone the student to find out what's the reason he/she was not in class and give her/him the assignment that was missed. By doing this its sends a message to the class that I need you to be present for me to teach.
