Better attendance starts with connection
With nearly 1 in 4 students chronically absent, districts need new approaches to a problem that affects learning outcomes and school funding. ParentSquare helps with a foundation of consistent, proactive engagement.
Bring your attendance engagement activities into one place
Streamline all of your attendance-related communication, from daily absence notifications to more targeted interventions.
Make attendance data easy to understand and act on
Seamless SIS integration brings attendance and engagement data together so staff know who to contact and what to follow up on.
Empower your attendance team with time-saving tools and workflows
Reduce time-consuming attendance practices like following up on absences, updating student records, and sending home letters and messages.
Reach every family consistently
Be confident that families are receiving important attendance messages. ParentSquare includes built-in contactability features and two-way translation via app, text, and email, so you can reach every family.
Bring parents into the attendance conversation
Empower families by sharing information they can access, understand, and act on, from highlighting policies on your website to sending home encouraging reminders about the importance of daily attendance.
Address patterns before they become challenges
Create a feedback loop with parents to understand the root causes of absenteeism, and build on your attendance engagement infrastructure to track and manage interventions with ParentSquare Attendance Plus.
Hear from the schools that love us
Empower schools with tools that make a difference
From following up on absences to checking in with a word of encouragement, ParentSquare makes it easier for teachers and staff to connect with families to support student success.
- Send attendance updates and reminders
- Reach families across languages and devices
- Reduce manual followup with automated outreach
“ParentSquare Attendance Plus automatically organizes students into intervention tiers based on absences, grade level, and their most recent engagement data. This means we can identify at-risk students at a glance and take action, whether that means sending proactive messages, flagging a case for district-level intervention, or assigning a student to a staff member for immediate outreach.”

“At the high school level, where absenteeism is tracked by class, schools were sometimes sending out over 4,000 notices per month. Digitizing that process not only expedites parent notifications but also vastly reduces the amount of manual work and postage needed to keep those families updated on their students’ absence rates.”

“Within months of implementing our new attendance system, all eight schools were participating, and staff had logged thousands of family messages. Attendance climbed above 94 percent, and engagement across campuses strengthened.”
