PowerSchool sends absence data to ParentSquare multiple times per day. Schools can set up attendance notices that go out within 20 minutes of when these exports leave PowerSchool. The message is a standard message setup for either period (secondary) or day (elementary attendance).
Schools can submit a ticket requesting any changes to the setup items listed below:
Status: Active or Paused (Office Manager can pause from the School > Add-Ons Tab)
Notify Times: put in the time you want the export to go and if we don't have an export around thtat time we can add an additional export
Report Emails: The email address(s) that the building wants to receive the report of the day's notifications. This email will also receive an email for each parent excuse submitted
Attendance Notices: On or off
Excuse Window: Number of days the parent can still excuse via the notification
Attendance notifications are sent via email, text, and voice for absent/tardy notifications. By default, ParentSquare sends both email and text notifications. If a text notification fails, a voice message is delivered.
See examples of the text and email messages that are sent to parents.
Note: Attendance notifications cannot be turned off by the user.
Attendance Staff can go to the Ad-Ons Tab and see the notices that went out on the current day or change the date and view both previous notifications and parent excuse notes.
