Stay ahead of unexcused absences
with Absence Alerts
See it in action Automate your
attendance notifications
Notify parents when a student misses class,
then automatically feed their responses
into your student information system for
a clear picture of your unexcused absences.
Why schools choose Absence Alerts
Effective student attendance management starts with knowing which absences are
actually unexcused — before state deadlines require action.
-
Fewer calls
Emails or SMS text messages
offer families quick and
convenient ways to indicate
reasons for absence.
-
Your message
Create your own
templates for parent absence
notifications, tailored to
your school and users.
-
Less chasing
Minimize manual tracking
with automated attendance
notifications — families respond
on their own time, and responses
flow back to you automatically.
How Absence Alerts simplifies attendance management
Review parent responses and absence excuses all in one place, instead of sorting through emails,
calls, and drop-in messages.
-
Reach families at any time of day with email
surveys or SMS text messages that
parents/guardians can reply to in moments. -
See which classes or parts of the day students
are missing. Data can be surfaced as often
as every hour. -
Review the excuses submitted by parents, and
re-send alerts to families who have not responded. -
Export the day’s responses and load directly into
your SIS, then mark the absences off to clear your
Absence Alerts table.
Stop chasing absences.
Start resolving them.
Absence Alerts frees up time for your
attendance staff while also creating a
consistent, convenient process for families
to explain absences and monitor their child’s
attendance.
