ParentSquare Announces Webinar Series to Help K-12 Districts Build Stronger Attendance Strategies for 2026-27

From manual tasks to strategic impact: A four-part May series for district leaders and school teams to automate outreach and build a smarter attendance plan

Santa Barbara, Calif. – May 4, 2026 – ParentSquare, the leading family engagement infrastructure for K-12, today announced “ParentSquare Attendance Plus in Action,” a free four-part webinar series designed to help K-12 district leaders and school teams prepare for the 2026-27 school year. The series is built to turn next year’s attendance goals into the workflows, roles, and routines staff need for a successful school year. 

The webinars are focused on a challenge hiding in plain sight: improving attendance takes more staff time than most teams can realistically spare. When schools spend hours tracking down reasons for absences, logging follow-ups, and coordinating next steps, they have less time to build the systems needed for lasting attendance prevention and improvement.

“Addressing attendance starts with connection,” said Alex Meis, MPA, VP of Attendance Strategy at ParentSquare. “Districts need tools and strategies that help staff act early, communicate with empathy, and keep families engaged before attendance concerns become patterns. This webinar series is designed to give leaders a practical roadmap they can use right away as they plan for the next school year.”

The four-part series includes 30-minute webinars throughout May. District leaders, attendance administrators, and student services teams can join any of the following sessions:

Built within the ParentSquare platform that 42,000 schools across the United States rely on for school-home communications, ParentSquare Attendance Plus helps districts reduce chronic absenteeism through tier-based outreach. Attendance teams can see who needs support, coordinate next steps, document interventions, and reach families in their preferred language.
