Tips for parents

Get more out of it.

Attendance alerts come from the district

When the school records a tardy or absence, you'll get a notification automatically. Nothing to turn on.

Plan vacations early

Call the school office in advance. They can flag the days as excused before they arrive.

Check the daily schedule

If your child is sick, the Schedule tile shows what they're missing โ€” useful for catching up.
