Attendance and Dismissal in ParentSquare

As discussed at Back to School Night, please follow the procedures below going forward!

A mobile app screen titled "Report Absence" with fields for student, duration, date, and reason.

Reporting an Absence in the App

Dear Families,

This year, families can use ParentSquare to report student absences. Absences can be submitted easily through the ParentSquare app or from a web browser.

Reporting an absence in advance saves you time and helps prevent automated absence notifications. You can report an absence for all of your children in one entry, attach a doctor’s note or other documentation, and view past and upcoming reported absences from your ParentSquare dashboard.

How it works on the ParentSquare app:

Tap Attendance in the bottom navigation.
Tap + in the top right.
Select a student(s), duration, date, and reason.
(Optional) Add a message and attachments.
Tap Submit absence report.

A digital form titled 'Absence report' with fields for student, duration, date, reason, message, and file attachments.

Reporting an Absence through the Web Browser

How it works on a web browser:

From Home, click Attendance under Communicate.
Click Report Absence.
Select a student(s), date, and reason.
(Optional) Add a message and attachments.
Click Submit.

What Happens If You Forget to Report an Absence?

If your child is marked absent and an absence has not already been reported, you will receive an automated ParentSquare notification. You can respond directly to the notification with the reason for the absence, and your child’s attendance record will be updated accordingly.

For additional information, please see ParentSquare's Report an Upcoming Absence resource.

We also encourage you to review the district document, "Understanding Attendance". We value your child's attendance at school. This document will provide details on the appropriate reasons for your child to be absent.

Thank you for partnering with us to help us account for every student and keep our attendance records accurate.
