Attendance Settings

Occasionally you may need to adjust or turn on attendance settings, especially to accommodate unique schedules where you do not want attendance notifications to automatically go out to families.

In order to turn on or off attendance or adjust reply ability, follow the directions below. Please note if you turn off attendance you must manually turn it back on for it to resume sending.

Select the "gear" in the upper right and "attendance settings"

Choose the school you would like to adjust. By deselecting the "enable attendance" checkbox you will be turning off automatically scheduled attendance notifications. By deselecting the "allow attendance replies" check box you will make it so families can not respond to the attendance alerts. By clicking the "pen and paper" button you can edit the automatic message sent.

The default wording of the attendance notification is based of of the NEA study on attendance notifications, optimized for attention & translatability. Adjusting it will impact those elements.
