Attendance Improvement
Turn family engagement into attendance improvement
Build stronger connections with families, manage attendance interventions, and save staff time with ParentSquare Attendance Plus.
Overview
End-to-end attendance engagement
Bring all of your attendance interventions into one place. ParentSquare Attendance Plus provides consistent, documented attendance outreach through multiple touchpoints—on the same platform staff and families already use.
Data integration
Turn attendance data into proactive outreach
Your attendance data should show you where to focus, not require guesswork to interpret. SIS data integration, easy-to-understand dashboards, and tier-based analytics give you a full picture of who needs attention and what steps to take next.
Team efficiency
Better coordination, fewer missed handoffs
Empower attendance staff with role-based permissions, structured intervention workflows, and less manual follow-up. Save time with task lists that let you track progress and assign actions to staff members, with built-in visibility along the way.
Compliance and reporting
Build compliance and auditing into everyday practice
Audit-ready workflows, clear intervention tracking, and automatically generated truancy letters all help make compliance a matter of routine, not a separate scramble. And, because everything takes place in ParentSquare, all of your other attendance communications are documented in one place.
A different approach
Shift the culture around attendance
Attendance Plus lets you provide intensive support while building a foundation of positive, proactive outreach that shapes how families see attendance.
Increase parent awareness
Create a stronger foundation for attendance by making it easy for families to access and understand important attendance information and policies.
Improve parent perception
Attendance communication doesn’t need to be compliance-based. Build positive recognition and reinforcement into your engagement strategy.
“Those personal messages coming from our attendance clerk saying, ‘Hey, we really missed your kid today’—it feels like your child is valued. And I think that’s missing in a lot of other types of communication.”
